The Los Angeles Lakers are grappling with injuries. Reeves (calf strain) is expected to be out for four weeks, while Hachimura (right calf soreness) and Vincent (back injury) will also miss the game. The absence of these key rotation players significantly impacts the team's outside shooting and depth. However, Hayes has recovered from an ankle sprain and is available, providing support in the paint. Detroit Pistons, on the other hand, have a relatively healthy roster. LeVert (left knee soreness) is a game-time decision, but core point guard Cunningham and center Duren are expected to play. Duren's presence, particularly his average of 12+ rebounds, is crucial in limiting the Lakers' inside game. Analysing the Los Angeles Lakers' performance, their shooting accuracy has improved from 42.8% in the preseason to 50.1% recently, with their three-point shooting also increasing to 34.8%. The average rebounds remain around 40. Recommendation: Los Angeles Lakers +2.5
