The Los Angeles Lakers will be facing the Detroit Pistons tonight. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been playing quite well in the past few games. However, they haven’t really converted their play into wins. Thus, the Lakers currently hold a record of 10 wins and 15 losses. That puts them in a lowly 13th spot in the Western Conference.
The team will certainly need to break its current three-game losing streak. They will be looking to do so against a rebuilding Pistons who have a record of 7 wins and 21 losses, the worst in the entire NBA.
Be that as it may, the Lakers cannot afford to keep their guard low and must play hungry. They will certainly need all their stars on the floor in order to take this game. With that being said, we should want to know about the availability status and expected rosters for tonight’s match.
