The Los Angeles Lakers got beaten up pretty badly by the Memphis Grizzlies at home on Sunday.* The Lakers now face a weaker opponent, the Detroit Pitsons.* Los Angeles coming into this game are 5-11 ATS at home.* They have not been playing like the team that won two straight titles.* On the other hand, there are some nights the profiled Lakers actually decide to play team basketball and dominate every aspect of the game.* This will be one of those nights.* Lakers will be motivated coming off a horrible loss while the Pistons will wish it was 2004 again.
The Detroit Pistons are on a back to back and just got beat by the Utah Jazz.* The Pistons are now 10-8 ATS on the road, covering the spread vs. the Jazz.* Pistons can show talent at times, but, lack the experience to compete against a higher level team two nights in a row.* Detriot has a better ATS win record then the Lakers, but, this is a game where you go against the STATS.* The Pistons will continue to struggle and look for a good percentage of the public betting the Pistons with the +12.* Lakers -12 is the play.
Lakers -12
