With nine wins in a row, the Los Angeles Lakers (46-25, 23-13 Away) have evolved into a team that no one will want to face, especially if an opponent is without its best player, like the Detroit Pistons (51-19, 26-8 Home) currently are with Cade Cunningham on the bench. Fans can follow the action via NBA League Pass once the game gets underway at 7 p.m. EST at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI.
Since their last loss back on March 5, the Lakers have been on a roll, winning nine in a row, five of them by double digits. Luka Doncic has been unstoppable, scoring 30+ points in every game and 40+ in four, 50+ in two, and 60+ in one. LeBron James is healthy and contributing in new and impactful ways, and Austin Reaves has been chipping in an average of 20+ points per game during the streak. As for Detroit, the Pistons have gone 7-2 in games without Cade Cunningham, who has missed the last two victories (vs. Washington and Golden State). Of course, competing with those teams and doing so vs. the Lakers is two different things.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
When a team is as scorching hot as the Lakers are right now, it would be foolish to bet against them. This is especially true since Cade Cunningham is sidelined with an injury. With both sides healthy, this would probably be a great game. However, with Detroit down its best player, the Lakers have a distinct advantage— and they’ll make the most of it.
