The Los Angeles Lakers finally secured their first road win of the season in their third try on Friday night against the Toronto Raptors. Now, they have a strong chance to win their second straight away from home and move to 2-2 on their current five-game road trip with an outing against the lowly Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons have been one of the worst teams in the league for several seasons now, and it does not appear that 2024-25 is going to be any different. They have only won two of their first seven games of the season and are in the bottom half of the league in both offensive and defensive rating.
