The Pistons are seeded at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, and will enter the matchup on the back of a three-game winning streak. The Lakers, on the other hand, are seeded third in the West, and are currently in their red-hot form. They have won nine consecutive games as they enter Monday&rsquo;s anticipated clash.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Lakers are 2-point favorites with moneyline at -135 and a total around 226.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Lakers are likely to steal homecourt advantage from the Pistons. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay, and a few player props for tonight&rsquo;s game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how we are betting for the Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Lakers tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Lakers&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>Best Bet: Los Angeles Lakers -2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Book<\/strong>: Best Price at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p><p>Our best bet for Detroit Pistons vs LA Lakers is the Lakers -2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>) against the spread.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Pistons have been having a dominating run this season, where they are dominating the homecourt with a 26-8 win-loss record. In their last six games, the Pistons have recorded six wins. They have the ninth-best offense in the league, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/teams\/advanced?dir=A&amp;sort=DEF_RATING\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>their defense puts them in the second spot<\/a>. The Lakers, on the other hand, have been 23-13 on the road, and they are coming off a strong nine-game winning skid.&nbsp;<\/p><p>They have the eighth-best offense, while their defense keeps them in the 20th spot.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The spread at Lakers -2 fits the guests well considering their recent on-court outbursts. They are expected to cover well, though, the Pistons aren&rsquo;t going to give up too easily at home. Hence, we can expect a tight clash at the Little Caesars Arena.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Considering the Lakers&rsquo; slight offensive edge as well as their recent form, we are laying the Los Angeles Lakers -2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>) as our best bet, and expect the guests to cover it.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-Game Parlay Picks for Detroit Pistons vs LA Lakers&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>3-Leg SGP (Safer)<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers -15.

Luka Doncic is the leading scorer, not only in the team but also the league in the current season. Austin Reaves has established his reliability, and with the playoffs approaching, we can expect them to pull their socks up and give a strong performance against the Eastern Conference table toppers.&nbsp;<\/p><p>These legs are correlated considering if the Lakers take control of the game, their players will get ample scoring opportunities for the side. This way, their players will end up with more volume.
