Lakers vs. Pistons prediction, odds and tips

The Lakers hope to improve on their 4-2 start to the season by facing a Pistons team for the second night in a row. Who will come out on top? Let’s break down our Lakers vs Pistons points likely prediction. The game against the Pistons was an enjoyable experience for the Lakers, who are 8-2 SU in their last 10 meetings and currently have a 7-game winning streak. They enter today's game as 6.5-point favorites, largely because the Pistons only played yesterday. LA ended a 2-game losing streak thanks to a high-scoring win over the Raptors last time out, and this will be their fourth game of a 5-game road trip they are currently on. Anthony Davis is a game-time decision with a hip issue.

The Pistons just beat the Brooklyn Nets yesterday despite entering the game as 4.5-point dogs. This team has shown signs of life early in the season, but has had one of the toughest SOSs so far, leaving them at just 2-5 after seven games played. They are still waiting for their first home win of the new season and to get it they will have to clean up their turnovers. Right now, Detroit ranks last in the NBA in turnovers with 18.3 turnovers per game.

LA has won the last three series of the regular season and enters tonight's game with a significant lead, having not played since Friday. In the last four meetings there have been two games with more than 240 points and two games with more than 230 points. Given the offensive capabilities on both sides, I expect a high-scoring duel. For my choice between Lakers and Pistons, I choose Over.
