And with that, they are 10:1 underdog against the Boston Celtics in this game, -15.5 initial line of betting. I haven't seen this kind of huge line, maybe except in the Olympics or maybe some Asian game. But now the line is getting worst for the Pistons that it's really ridiculous to bet on them.

Not just the coaching staff though, they need to change their mentality and think that they can win night in night out. The thing is that when their opponents take a lead, they don't have the heart to chase it and make a comeback.

For sure even though Cade Cunningham had a great game against the Boston Celtics, it was not enough, and because of the continued downfall of the Detroit Pistons their credibility in making it to the playoffs is now gone to nothing and many don't want to bet on them anymore as it is a risk involving yourself and risking in trusting the Piston to win in a game but for sure maybe with the teams near the bottom they could have a chance as an underdog but against the Boston Celtics they can not win against the Boston even if that game was so close and next game was against the Toronto Raptors for sure they may have a chance but still many will surely doubt this,

Lakers will host Hornets. That should be an easy game for Lakers. Anthony Davis is having a good season, the last time he dropped 40 but they lost to Celtics. Now they should play easier game and won't have too much trouble. LeBron is making near triple-double stats as well.
Nuggets will host Grizzlies. They are tired, coming from Pelicans away game which finished in overtime. I believe Nuggets will win this one if they can lock Morant.

Right now LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the two that are keeping the Los Angeles Lakers together, for sure if these two can not play for the team or are injured the Los Angeles Lakers will surely struggle to get a win, well this is a hard time for the Los Angeles Lakers making their way for the Playoffs as they are right now even though they have won the In Season tournament the playoffs is a different goal and if the Lakers would only rely on LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they can not make it into the finals for sure,

A few more weeks before the trade deadline. It seems like the Lakers know their chances against the top teams as they are pursuing trades aggressively. So according to the odds, the Lakers are likely to acquire Dejounte Murray from Atlanta. I don't know what assets the Lakers can offer but the team has a decent roster except that they lost their future first draft picks already in the previous trades.

Some people on social media are saying Lebron should be part of the trade which is impossible. It's not even a surprise if it's Lebron pressuring the management to acquire other stars or better talents while he is still playing at a high level.

For some reason Fans just want the Los Angeles Lakers to be good again, and after winning the In-Season Tournament this year, they want the Lakers to continue their winning and go into the Finals again for sure, just like what they did last season, but they will need to trade certain key players for this to happen, well fans just wants the best for the Los Angeles Lakers but getting LeBron James out of the Lakers is really impossible as James now is still profitable for their business and for the team while LeBron James is still playing like his old self so it is a real big win for the Los Angeles Lakers,
