Detroit at Los Angeles

December 30, 2025
img10:30 PM Eastern

Detroit has lost back-to-back games for just the second time this season after its 112-99 loss to the Clippers on Sunday. The Pistons have played six of their past seven on the road, but they won't have to travel to face the Lakers tonight in Los Angeles. The Lakers have lost three of four, and they will be without Austin Reaves (calf) for about a month. The Pistons are 12-6 ATS in the past 18 meetings, and the Lakers are 1-5 ATS in their past six against Central Division opponents. Detroit has covered five in a row on the road versus teams with .600 home winning percentages, and it is 6-1 ATS in its past seven road games against teams with winning home records overall. Los Angeles is 0-7 ATS in its past seven following a win, 0-5 ATS following an ATS win. The Lakers have covered just one of six home games. Take the Pistons.
