The Pistons remain atop the Eastern Conference. However, the Clippers handed them their eighth loss of the season in Los Angeles on Sunday, 99-112. They will play the other team in the city, the Lakers, on Tuesday early pregame betting favors Detroit by 3.5 points.
The Pistons were undoubtedly victims of a superhuman performance from Kawhi Leonard, who scored 55 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and stole 5 balls; Cunningham's 27 points weren't enough to counter that performance. Even so, the Pistons' star shines for his consistency, having scored 20 or more points in 7 of his last 9 games since December 12.
That same day, the Lakers won not far away at Crypto Arena; the victory came down to a 125-101 win against the Kings. The Lakers end 2025 against the Pistons and won't return until January 2nd, but they do so with a more than convincing first third of the season, sitting 4th in the West and with LeBron James averaging a very respectable 20.5 points per game.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
Less than a week ago, these teams crossed paths on the same court where they will play on Tuesday. It was a very entertaining, close game, but Ivey and Beasley, each making 8 of 15 attempts, helped Cunningham lead the Pistons to a 117-114 victory over the Lakers.
Of course, the Lakers will be affected by the absence of Hachimura and Vincent, but not as much as Reaves, who will unfortunately see his spectacular season stopped for at least 4 weeks due to a calf strain.
Our prediction for Lakers vs Pistons is: Pistons ML.
