This is a Free #NBA play on the LA #Lakers.

The Lakers were crushed by the Clippers at Staples Center last night, but they should have a decent chance to get back on track at home versus the Pistons tonight. Detroit is really struggling, playing their final game of a five game road trip, coming off three straight losses. Head Coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't sound very optimistic about his team's play in recent weeks: "We can't stop anybody. We just can't," Van Gundy lamented. "I mean for the first 21 games we were the second-best defensive team in the league and now we are one of the worst. I'm frustrated. Not with our players, I'm frustrated with myself that I can't figure this out. I mean, we literally can't stop anyone, ever." The Lakers are the healthier of the two teams, as the Pistons are missing Caldwell-Pope and Leuer. Luol Deng was rested last night, and should be ready to go here in the second game of a back to back. Detroit is 0-6 ATS in their last six visits to the Staples Center, and this looks like a tough spot for them to break that trend.

Take LAL.
