Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, and Spreads - December 11 | 2022-23 NBA Regular Season
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.
