The Lakers hope to improve on their 4-2 start to the new season when they take on a Pistons team playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Who will come out on top? Let’s analyze our Lakers vs Pistons prediction, where points seem likely. Playing the Pistons has been an enjoyable experience for the Lakers, who are 8-2 SU over the past ten meetings and are currently on a seven-game win streak. They enter tonight’s game as 6.5-point favorites, mainly due to the fact that the Pistons played yesterday. LA ended a 2-game slide thanks to a high-scoring win over the Raptors last time out, and this will be their 4th game of a 5-game road trip they are currently on. Anthony Davis is a game-time decision with a hip problem.

The Pistons just beat the Brooklyn Nets yesterday, despite entering the game as a 4.5-point dog. This team has shown signs of life early in the season, but they have had one of the toughest SOS so far, leaving them at just 2-5 after seven games played. They are still looking for their first home win of the new season, and to achieve that they will have to clean up their turnover. Currently, Detroit ranks last in the NBA in turnovers, coughing up the ball 18.3 times per game.

LA has won the last three series of the regular season and they enter tonight’s game with a significant halftime advantage after not playing since Friday. The last 4 meetings have produced 2 games of 240+ points and 2 games of 230+ points. Given the attacking prowess of both sides, I expect a high-scoring match. For my Lakers vs Pistons pick, I’m going with the Over.
