Detroit at Los Angeles

We were on Portland vs. LA last game. We noted how LA has trouble playing in Portland. Now, the Lakers are home after having time to stew about that embarrassing loss. They should be very fired up to atone for that here. Detroit is playing their third straight road game and they have lost both of the first two. The Pistons, without the services of Ben Wallace, have already allowed two opponents to reach the century mark. Not good for them as the Lakers are averaging 105 per game (109 at home) and Kobe is coming on. Detroit, historically very strong at home, is just 19-35 on the road vs. winning teams the past three seasons. And, they are 1-10 ATS the past two seasons vs. teams at 60%+ SU. Take a very motivated Lakers squad here.
