The Lakers were handled by the Pistons and they have to watch for the status of Davis, who leads the league in scoring this season. If he is hampered at all, the Lakers could struggle, especially seeing they lost to the Pistons in a game that he went for 37. Memphis is dealing with their own injury issues with several key rotation pieces missing at the moment. Kennard may make his season debut here but that doesn’t fix the problems that the team has had so far this season. The Lakers have their issues but they also have veterans that can contribute and carry a team, even for just 48 minutes. Take Los Angeles on the road here as they pick up the road victory for just the second time in five attempts this season.
