The resurgent Los Angeles Lakers will travel to the Midwest to take on the struggling Detroit Pistons on Sunday (December 11).
The Lakers have found their footing after a tumultuous start to their 2022-23 campaign. They've found a balance that's working and are focused on obtaining a playoff spot. The Pistons, meanwhile, are a boat lost at sea. They're in full rebuild mode, and without their on-court leader, Cade Cunningham, they don't have much firepower.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons Betting Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers have saved what was once thought to be a potentially lost season.
LeBron James has rallied the troops as he has so often throughout his illustrious career. Anthony Davis has been the difference maker. Some argue that a healthy Davis is still a top-five player in the NBA.
The issue surrounding the Lakers' big man has always been health-related. The Lakers have too much positive momentum and firepower for the Pistons to contend. Take the Lakes going away in this one.
Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers -5 (-110) 232.5 O/U
