LAL vs DET Dream11 Match Prediction
LAL vs DET Dream11: Having ended the three-game skid with a fine 104-11 win over Golden State Warriors in the last game, the Detroit Pistons now face an acid test of their credentials as their next opponnets are Los Angeles Lakers.
The Pistons have been a tad more inconsistent than one would have expected. They are 11th on the points table in the East, with three and a half games deficit on the playoff positions. They are 2-8 in the last 10 games, and 1-3 in the last 4. More importantly, the Pistons have tasted only four away wins this season – a return that doesn’t bode well for their away trip against the Lakers.
The Lakers, on the other hand, are one of the best teams in the NBA at the moment and are on another winning streak. They are 28-7 this season and lead the Western Conference.
