Detroit at Los Angeles

Detroit has shown flashes of being much-improved from last season, but the Pistons still have lost five of eight, although they did get a 133-125 win at Phoenix on Saturday. The Pistons have lost their past seven road games against the Lakers, including 1-4 ATS in their past five. Los Angeles is on a 5-1 ATS run and a three-game win streak after sweeping a two-game set at Sacramento. The Lakers beat the Kings 103-99 on Saturday, with LeBron James scoring 32 points and D'Angelo Russell adding 20 for Los Angeles. The Lakers are 10-4 ATS in their past 14 games against the Central Division, and Detroit has lost 12 of 15 outright against Western Conference foes. The Lakers have covered four straight against teams with losing records and four in a row playing with one day of rest. Take the Lakers.
