Randy’s Pick
The Detroit Pistons are an awful team that I don’t want to get behind as much as the next guy. However, let’s not act like the Lakers are covering numbers, and they’ve lost 6 of their last 9 road games. Also, the Lakers are coming off two big games against the Cavs and 76ers, and they have OKC tomorrow. This is very well a win and get out situation. Backdoor for the Pistons? Give me the points.
