Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
The Lakers spent a lot of energy in their comeback against Philly to force overtime. I wouldn’t expect a huge hangover there, but tired legs on a road trip have a tendency add up, and Los Angeles is now on its sixth road contest in a row.
The Lakers should find a way to escape Detroit with a win straight-up. I’m not going bold enough to take the underdog straight up here, but the home crowd will be amped with LeBron James and L.A. in town.
Give me the home underdogs against the spread on Sunday.
