  • Los Angeles Lakers are 11-2-0 ATS in their previous 13 games
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of Detroit’s last 7 games
  • The Over has hit in 4 of Los Angeles’ last 6 games

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time head to head 240-158
  • Detroit Pistons won 128-106 when the two teams last met on December 30

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles head to Detroit as the form team in the NBA right now, with 12 wins coming in their last 13 games.

The Lakers ended February with a 129-101 win at Golden State, before beginning March with back-to-back home wins over Sacramento, 128-104, and New Orleans, 110-101.

That run was ended by a 120-113 defeat in Denver, but they responded emphatically at home with five wins in a row.

Los Angeles beat Indiana 128-117, New York 110-97, Minnesota 120-106, Chicago 142-130 and Denver 127-125 in overtime, before heading out on the road to extend their streak to nine games with four more victories.

The Lakers won back-to-back games in Houston, 100-92 and 124-116, before a head to Florida for wins over Miami, 134-126, and Orlando, 105-104.

Detroit Pistons Form

Detroit enter this matchup also on a good run of form, having now won six of their previous seven games.

The Pistons began March with a 106-92 victory in Orlando, only to then go cold as they lost four straight, losing 11-3019 at Cleveland, 121-106 in San Antonio, 107-105 at home to Brooklyn and 121-110 in Miami.

They finally stopped the rot in Brooklyn with a 138-100 victory, and backed that up at home as they downed Philadelphia 131-109 and Memphis 126-110.

Detroit failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 119-108 in Toronto, but they have not lost since.

The Pistons took back-to-back road games against Washington, 130-117 and 117-95, before returning home to beat Golden State 115-101.

Verdict

Detroit are on a roll, but the loss of Cade Cunningham is a significant blow.

This Lakers team has been on a tear since late February, and they are backed to keep it going with another road win tonight.
