The Lakers are one of the best offenses in the Association right now, but the Pistons are one of the best defensive outfits, and they should benefit from extra rest and preparation ahead of this one. They haven't played since Wednesday, while the Lakers flew east after a Friday home game.
This total continues to creep up, but we still like the over on Sunday between the Nets and Mavs. This is a tough spot for Brooklyn, which means there could be fatigue on the defensive end. Meanwhile, the Mavs have been great offensively at home, which should spearhead the scoring in this one.
It's been miserable for the Clippers this year, losers of seven straight. However, they've had half a week to rest, game plan and re-focus on the season going forward, starting with Sunday's game against the Pelicans. New Orleans has played three times this week already, twice going to overtime, and they're already 0-2 SU out west with losses to Utah and Denver.
