The game tips off at 6:30 p.m. PT and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet and Bally Sports Detroit.
Los Angeles (10-11) is seeking a win to get back to .500 after losing in triple overtime to the Sacramento Kings. LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis should all be good to go in what is a necessary win against a lowly team.
Detroit (4-15) is on a five-game skid, which extends to the last matchup between the two when L.A. came back down 17 points to win. That game also had a major scuffle between LeBron and Isaiah Stewart, so those two will be heavily monitored throughout the game.
Pistons at Lakers notable injuries:
Lakers: OUT – Trevor Ariza, Kendrick Nunn; Questionable – LeBron James; Probable – Anthony Davis
Pistons: OUT – Kelly Olynyk; Probable – Killian Hayes, Frank Jackson

Advice and prediction
The Lakers are heavily favored to win the rematch, but L.A. has not been a trustworthy bet when it comes to point margins of this magnitude. Los Angeles hasn’t won many double-digit games this season, and it has shown no reason to believe one will happen anytime soon, despite the Pistons being one of the worst teams in the league. Detroit had a strong lead against the Big 3 before James and Stewart were ejected, so this should also be a close affair. However, L.A. should pull out a critical victory.
Take the Pistons plus-10.5, Lakers plus-700 and the over 215.5.
Prediction: Lakers 114, Pistons 108
