The game between the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers will take place on November 5th German time. From 1:30 a.m. German time it’s all about valuable points in Conference Round 1. The Pistons, under head coach Monty Williams, come into the game with a record of 2 wins and 5 defeats. After their recent success against the Brooklyn Nets (106:92), they want to build on this victory. Before that, however, they suffered painful defeats against the New York Knicks (98:128) and the Boston Celtics (118:124). Noticeable: The hosts have problems holding their own against offensively strong teams. The loss of Cade Cunningham, the key playmaker, will also be painfully felt in this game. The Pistons need to focus particularly on defending James and Davis. If they can’t do that, Detroit could have a hard time stopping the Lakers.
JJ Redick has prepared his Lakers a lot this season. Five wins in the last seven games are impressive. The most recent win against the Toronto Raptors (125:121) in particular demonstrates their ability to win even close games. Despite the absence of D’Angelo Russell, who is missing with a thigh injury, the team around LeBron James and Anthony Davis is in impressive form. Both deliver consistently high scores and stabilize the Lakers defense.
