The Lakers' most recent victory against the Raptors showcased the stark contrast between their dominant first half and a lackluster second that raised concerns.
Despite the win, the Lakers allowed 60 points in the paint and 25 fast-break points, highlighting their early season weaknesses that opponents are exploiting.
Playing against the Pistons, who are on the second night of a back-to-back, the Lakers need to avoid repeating mistakes to safely secure a win.
With stronger overall talent, the Lakers should be able to manage the game effectively without over-relying on their stars, if they contain Cade Cunningham.
