The Lakers, with a record of 20-10, ended a three-game losing streak by defeating the Sacramento Kings 125-101 on Sunday. They are currently fourth in the Western Conference.

Coach JJ Redick's side will need to rely on strong performances from stars Luka Doncic and LeBron James to maintain momentum and force turnovers against the Pistons.
The Detroit Pistons, leading the Eastern Conference with a strong 24-8 record, are currently looking to avoid a season-worst third consecutive loss after falling to the Clippers on Sunday.

The Pistons' defense is a point of emphasis as they look to disrupt the Lakers' rhythm, but they may be without Caris LeVert, who is listed as doubtful with knee soreness.
