The upcoming NBA clash at 11:30 features the Los Angeles Lakers against the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers' recent offensive efficiency sees a true shooting percentage of 47.8%, below the league average, yet their defence forces turnovers at a high rate, with a 19.3% turnover rate. The Detroit Pistons play at a slow pace, averaging 26.1 possessions per game, one of the slowest in the league, and their three-point shooting accuracy is at a five-year low of 32.4%. In their last five meetings, the total points scored by both teams have not exceeded 225. The Pistons heavily rely on set plays, with 68% of their possessions coming in the half-court. The Los Angeles Lakers' defensive efficiency ranks sixth in the league at 108.2, and they average 9.7 steals, pressuring the Pistons' backcourt. The Pistons' fast-break scoring is only 24th in the league, while the Lakers allow only 97.3 points per half-court defensive possession. Data analysis suggests an expected combined score of 227.4 points. Considering the Pistons' recent three-point shooting of 27.1% over their last three games and the Lakers' 68.9% paint-block rate, the prediction favours under 231.5 points.
