    Pick: Detroit Pistons -4.5 Detroit C Jalen Duren suffered a right hamstring strain and will be reevaluated sometime this week. The Pistons have defeated the Lakers four consecutive times by an average of ten points. Los Angeles is 7-3 ATS and Detroit owns a 6-2 ATS mark. The Pistons are the better defensive team and Ausar Thompson will shadow Doncic. Take the Pistons to cover at home.

    Pick: Under 221.5 These two teams rank in the bottom third of the league in tempo. Luka Doncic has the Lakers playing at second slowest pace. The Pistons are limiting opponents to a league low 101.8 points per contest. Los Angeles is 6-4 O/U and Detroit sports a 3-5 O/U mark. The Pistons will make this a rock fight and it will stay under the total.

    Austin Reaves más de 22,5 puntos. Aunque empezase con algunas dudas, Reaves ya ha vuelto a producir números incluso en noches reguleras. Si no está Luka, llevará la batuta. Si estrá, se librará de Ausar Thompson como defensor principal y podrá aprovechar la tendencia de los Pistons a la falta para visitar la línea.
