Lakers vs Pistons: NBA game preview

In their first year under new head coach JJ Redick, the Lakers won their first three games of the regular season - but slipped to 3-2 when they suffered consecutive defeats to the Phoenix Suns and the Cleveland Cavaliers last midweek.

Chasing the 18th championship in franchise history, the Lakers then got back on track in their most recent NBA outing, Anthony Davis-inspiring the Californians to victory over the Toronto Raptors. Davis scored 38 points and registered 11 rebounds as Los Angeles triumphed 131-125 in Canada.

Meanwhile, the Pistons are also beginning life under a new head coach - ex-Cavaliers boss JB Bickerstaff - but have made a negative start to the 45-year-old’s tenure. Detroit are 0-3 at Little Caesars Arena and 2-4 overall, with their two victories coming at the Philadelphia 76ers last Wednesday, and at the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

While the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of last season’s playoffs, the Pistons missed out on the postseason for the fifth year in a row, finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference.
