With the way Los Angeles is playing on the defensive side of the court, they have a great chance to capture a Christmas day win.</p><p>Golden State, on the other hand, has lost four of their last five games. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-makes-guarantee-after-brutal-showing-loss-pacers">Warriors are coming off a loss</a> against the Indiana Pacers Monday night. In their last five games, the Warriors are scoring just 106.8 points per game while shooting 43.4 percent from the floor, and under 70 percent from the charity stripe. When the Warriors score under 110 points this season, they are just 2-9. If the Lakers can continue to play solid defense, and the Warriors keep on struggling, Los Angeles will be able to win this game.</p><h2><b>Why the Warriors Could Cover the Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Lakers have also not been great offensively. Los Angeles is averaging just 105.0 points per game in their last 10 games. In that span, the Lakers own a field goal percentage of 45.2 percent, and their three-point percentage is a low 32.2 percent. When Los Angeles scores under 110 points this season, they have a record of 4-8. The Lakers are winning games, but it is not because of their offensive play. If Los Angeles continues to struggle on offense, the Warriors will have a good chance to get back in the win column.</p><p>Golden State seems to be healthy heading into this game. Players like Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins are healthy. Green is not much of a scorer, but he does make a difference on the court. Wiggins and Curry combine to average 39.1 points per game. Curry leads the Warriors with 6.6 assists, as well. The Warriors will need at least two of those players to have a good game. If Curry and one of the others can play well, the Warriors will be able to win this game.</p><h2><b>Final Lakers-Warriors Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This is going to be a solid Christmas day game. I do think it will be lower scoring, though. With that, it should end up being a very close contest between the two west coast teams. When it comes to picking a winner, I am going to take the team that is playing better at the moment. In this case, that is the Lakers. I will take the Lakers to win straight up against the Warriors on Christmas night.</p><p><b>Final Lakers-Warriors Prediction &amp; Pick: Lakers ML (+150)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He studied journalism and communication at UConn.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Los Angeles Lakers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Los Angeles Lakers’ offense has somewhat stalled as of late, and while it might be puzzling to some, head coach JJ Redick has a very clear idea of why that is the case, and he <a href="https://x.com/mcten/status/1871400519803212131" rel="noopener">outlined that with statistics</a> when asked about those struggles.</p><p>“I would probably point immediately to our shot profile,” JJ Redick said, via Dave McMenamin of ESPN. “Over the last 13 [games], we’re taking five more non-paint twos — we’re shooting 39% on those. And for all the people that hate math, I shared this with the team this morning and I think it’s really interesting. We’re last, or second to last, in the last 13 in our offense. Those five extra non-paint twos, if we shot them at the same rate as Phoenix — who shoots 49% on non-paint twos — our offense would go from 29th to 27th.”</p><p>Redick outlines that even if the Lakers had shot better on their attempts as of late, they would not be seeing much improvement on the scoreboard. He went further to outline that the Lakers’ shot selection is the problem, and that they need to be shooting more threes.</p><p>“If we took those five middies and we shot league average on threes, our offense would go from 27th to 12th,” Redick said. “Over the last 13, we’re last in [three-point] makes, second-to-last in attempts, last in three-point percentage. In some ways, we need to shoot more threes and we need to make more threes. … We need to launch. We do. And that doesn’t mean we’re not trying to get to the rim every single time, but it’s those two things. We want to live in the paint. We want to shoot threes. We haven’t shot enough threes.”</p><h2><b>Lakers’ frustrations come to ahead vs. Pistons</b></h2><p>The Lakers suffered a rough 117-114 loss to the Detroit Pistons at home on Monday. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-anthony-davis-roasted-pistons-malik-beasley-hot-mic">Malik Beasley fired a shot at Anthony Davis</a> after the game, making matters a bit worse.</p><p>Despite the struggles offensively as of late, the Lakers were winners of three straight coming into the matchup against the Pistons. Los Angeles was looking to head into the Christmas Day matchup with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on a high note. Instead, the Lakers were dealt some <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-dangelo-russell-crucial-injury-update-jj-redick-pistons-loss">rough injury news with D’Angelo Russell</a>, will be looking for a rebound win against the Warriors.</p><p>The good news is that Redick has a plan to improve the offense, and he has communicated that to his team. Los Angeles is also in decent shape in the standings at 16-13 overall, good for seventh in the. tightly-contested Western Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately for LeBron and the Lakers, they needed him to be at 849 in order to have a chance to beat the Pistons.</p><p>Los Angeles tried to stage a late comeback from 11 points down in the final minutes and had a chance to tie the game on the final possession. James broke free for a great look from deep, but the shot clanged off the rim and Detroit pulled out a 117-114 win.</p><p>The missed game-tying 3-pointer spoiled a terrific all-around performance from LeBron. The soon-to-be 40-year-old recorded his eighth triple double of the season with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists while shooting 10-of-16 from the field and 2-of-4 from 3-point range.</p><p>But it wasn’t enough. The Lakers shot 54.1% overall and 14-of-30 from 3-point range as a team, but 20 total turnovers led to 28 Pistons points. Los Angeles dropped to 16-13 on the season and snapped a three-game losing streak.</p><h2><b>LeBron James’ evolution as a 3-point shooter</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Lakers-LeBron-James-celebrating.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>LeBron James wasn’t known as a 3-point shooter early in his career, but he has developed that shot over the years. Last season, he shot a career-best 41.0% from deep on 5.1 attempts per game. It was only the second time in his career in which he hit the 40% mark on 3-pointers.</p><p>That career-best mark coincided with a lowering of his 3-point volume. He reached a peak of 8.0 3-pointers per game in 2021-22  and then took 6.9 per game in 2022-23, making only 32.1% of those attempts.</p><p>James hasn’t been as successful on 3-pointers this season, making a respectable 35.3% on 5.7 attempts per game. For his career, he’s a 34.8% 3-point shooter and is at 35.7% as a Laker.</p><p>It’s somewhat ironic that LeBron just accomplished this feat after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-complains-about-3s-in-nba">airing his grievances</a> over the amount of 3-pointers in today’s game. He has played into it with his own 3-point volume, but even if he doesn’t like it, he knows how important the shot is and will continue to take them.</p><p>James obviously won’t catch Kobe’s Lakers 3-point record, but he should be able to reach the 1,000 mark down the road.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Lakers have had their share of injury concerns this season and before the game, head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaxson-hayes-christian-wood-get-key-injury-update-per-jj-redick">JJ Redick provided the latest injury news for Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood</a>. After the game, Redick was again the bearer of concerning injury news regarding D’Angelo Russell.</p><p>Russell left the Lakers’ loss to the Pistons late in the fourth quarter, headed for the locker room and did not return.</p><p>Following the Lakers’ loss, JJ Redick was asked what had happened regarding D’Angelo Russell and if it was an injury of some kind. Redick replied that he was getting either <a href="https://x.com/Dave_Yapkowitz/status/1871438997127659980" rel="noopener">his thumb or his hand</a> checked out.</p><p>The Lakers have a day off before they travel up north to take on the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day. An update on Russell’s status will likely come the day before.</p><h2><b>D’Angelo Russell’s role for the Lakers this season</b></h2><p>In the starting lineup to begin the 2024-25 season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-dangelo-russell-mindset-move-to-bench">Russell moved to the bench</a> after the eighth game of the season. He had two of his best games of the season during the Lakers’ mini-road trip against the Sacramento Kings, two games that resulted in wins.</p><p>On Dec. 18, Russell dropped 16 points and six rebounds while shooting 46.7 percent from the field in a little over 22 minutes. He followed that up on Dec. 21 with 20 points, four rebounds and five assists while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from the three-point line.</p><p>Russell has missed only one game this season and has been playing a little over 26 minutes per game. He’s been averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists with splits of 41.9 percent shooting from the field, 33.8 percent shooting from the three-point line and 84.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Russell chose to opt-in to his contract this past offseason and return to the Lakers rather than hit unrestricted free agency. This is the final year of his contract and he will become a free agent at the season’s end. The former No. 2 overall pick has seen his name come up in multiple trade rumors since returning to the franchise that drafted him.</p><p>Russell played two seasons with the Lakers before they traded him to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and the draft pick that eventually became Kyle Kuzma. He’s also had stints with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-stephen-curry-influence-dangelo-russell-leadership">Russell’s leadership has been key with the Lakers</a>, especially with the young players. He attributes that to learning from some of the great players he’s played with such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both players have yet to make their season debuts. Unfortunately for the Lakers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-jaxson-hayes-worrisome-injury-update-jj-redick">Jaxson Hayes joined them on the sidelines with an ankle injury</a>. Sometimes the news is there is no news and that was the case, as per Lakers head coach JJ Redick.</p><p>According to JJ Redick, there is <a href="https://x.com/jovanbuha/status/1871377060830347386" rel="noopener">no current injury update</a> regarding either Jaxson Hayes or Christian Wood, as per Jovan Buha of The Athletic. Redick’s comments took place during his pregame media availability ahead of the Lakers’ game against the Detroit Pistons. He was not asked about Vanderbilt.</p><p>With the Lakers’ main frontcourt depth all sidelined, they’ve been relying on two-way contract big man Christian Koloko. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-lakers-plans-decimated-center-position-behind-anthony-davis">Lakers have also reportedly been scouring the trade market</a> for frontcourt help.</p><p>In Hayes’ case, he began the season as the Lakers’ primary backup behind Anthony Davis, but he suffered an ankle injury back on Nov. 13 that sidelined him for six games. He returned to the lineup on Nov. 26 against the Phoenix Suns, but re-aggravated the injury and has now missed 12 straight games.</p><p>Prior to the injury, Hayes had been averaging 6.4 points and 4.5 rebounds with splits of 72.2 percent shooting from the field and 78.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line. He was making an impact as a rim-rolling big as well as a being a defensive presence.</p><p>With Wood, his injury timeline goes back to last year when he missed the final 26 games of the 2023-24 regular season and was out for the playoffs as well due to a knee injury and subsequent surgery.</p><p>Before training camp began, Wood suffered a setback, needing another surgery on the same knee. Last season, his first in the purple and gold, Wood appeared in 50 games. He averaged 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists with splits of 46.6 percent shooting from the field, 30.7 percent shooting from the three-point line and 70.2 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Wood picked up his player option in the offseason rather than test unrestricted free agency, as did Hayes.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As combining those two players is probably against the rules in the current CBA, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/charting-out-lakers-most-realistic-productive-path-trade-season">Lakers must instead find such a player on the trade market</a>.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-thunder-linked-to-cam-johnson-trade-with-nets">Cam Johnson is the top two-way wing on the trade market</a>. The Lakers have the pieces necessary to meet the Brooklyn Nets’ asking price. The question, once again, is whether Rob Pelinka will push those chips into the middle of the table.</p><h2><b>The Pros</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Lakers-GM-Rob-Pelinka.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Johnson would immediately solidify the Lakers’ frontcourt and become the team’s best two-way role player (on nights he’s focused defensively). He’s currently hitting 42% of the 7.6 threes per game he’s attempting. The 19.1 points per game he is scoring is the highest of his career. Most importantly, though, he’s played in 27 of the 28 games Brooklyn has played so far this season.</p><p>If he’s able to stay healthy and continue scoring at anywhere near that pace, he’d take the Lakers back in the direction of defensive versatility and shooting that helped win the 2019-20 championship.</p><h2><b>The Cons</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Cam-Johnson_0f043c.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Acquiring Johnson is going to be expensive. He’s the most sought-after trade piece this year outside the stars on the market. Every team in the running for the playoffs could use a player like Johnson, which will allow Brooklyn to essentially set its price.</p><p>Johnson also doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to availability. Last year, he played in only 58 games for Brooklyn, which was a huge improvement over the year prior, when he was available for 42 games combined between his time in Phoenix and Brooklyn. He’s only played 60 or more games twice.</p><p>While Johnson is the best combination of threes and defense on the trade market, the defense part of that equation is pretty inconsistent, though it’s hard to say how much of that has to do with the morose situation he’s coming from in Brooklyn.</p><p>Johnson also has bonuses that increase the amount of money teams need to send out to land him, which complicates trading for him even further. As such, a third team that could take on some salary would need to be brought into negotiations.</p><p>So, moving the necessary draft capital and contracts won’t be cheap, and there’s still a decent chance he’ll miss time or the defense he plays won’t meet the expectations that come with the hefty price tag.</p><p>Speaking of…</p><h2><b>The Cost</b></h2><p>According to league sources, Brooklyn is expecting to land at least one first-rounder, plus potentially either some second-round compensation or a promising prospect. Brooklyn would also prefer to not take money beyond this season for any of the players they’re acquiring, unless it’s attached to said prospect, of course.</p><p>In this case, one potential offer would be D’Angelo Russell, Dalton Knecht, a first, and whatever additional salaries going wherever they would need to go. Rather than including Knecht, the Lakers could try to offer additional draft compensation.</p><h2><b>The Likelihood</b></h2><p>As much as Johnson would help the Lakers, it’s hard to see the now extremely conservative Pelinka push this many chips into the middle of the table on one player who isn’t a star. Sources close to the team have been adamant about how reluctant the Lakers would be to include Knecht in trades as he was their one win of the offseason.</p><p>Things obviously change quickly and the Lakers currently sitting atop the Pacific Division certainly helps, but Johnson winding up a Laker would be a pretty big surprise.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The outsoles of the shoe are also mismatched half-black and half-white to emphasize the duality of the colorway.

This is mainly because of Cade Cunningham. Cunningham averages 24.0 points per game, 7.1 rebounds, and 9.7 assists. He is third in the NBA in assists and 18th in points. In December, Cunningham is averaging 24.5 points per game and 11.6 assists. Along with that, Cunningham is shooting just under 50 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from beyond the arc. If Cunningham can play well Monday night, the Pistons will win this game.</p><p>Detroit are coming off a win in which they scored 133 points. In their last five games, the Pistons are averaging 119.2 points per game. Along with that, the Pistons are shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from three-point range. They are having a very good offensive stretch of games, and the Pistons need to continue that. If Detroit can score efficiently, they will cover the spread.</p><p>The Pistons have played the Lakers once this season. In that game, Detroit held the Lakers to just 103 points. That was with both Anthony Davis and LeBron James on the court. They held Los Angeles to just 43.5 percent from the field, and only nine threes made. In the game, the Lakers scored just 10 points off the bench. If the Pistons can have a similar defensive game, they will be able to cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Why the Lakers Could Cover the Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Los Angeles has won four of their last five games. In those games, the Lakers have beaten the Sacramento Kings twice and a very good Memphis Grizzlies team. With that, the Lakers have been excellent on defense. They are allowing just 100.8 points per game in that span, and opponents are shooting a very low 41.8 percent from the field against the Lakers. With the way they are playing defense, the Lakers should be able to keep the Pistons’ scoring down.</p><p>The Lakers do have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-anthony-davis-playing-pistons-latest-injury-updates">Anthony Davis and LeBron James on their injury report</a>. If one or both of those players miss the game, it will be tough to win. However, there is a very good chance both of the star players will be active on Monday night. They combine to average 49.9 points per game, 16.0 rebounds, and 12.3 assists. Additionally, they both shoot well from the field. With them on the court, the Lakers have a great chance to win any game, including this one.</p><h2><b>Final Pistons-Lakers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>As mentioned, the Lakers are playing great basketball lately, especially on defense. That is too much to overlook on Monday night. With that said, I like the Lakers to win this game at home. With that said, I am going to take the Lakers to not only win but cover this spread, as well.</p><p><b>Final Pistons-Lakers Prediction &amp; Pick: Lakers -6 (-106)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both Lakers players are listed as <a href="https://official.nba.com/nba-injury-report-2024-25-season/" rel="noopener">questionable</a>. James is dealing with a left foot injury, while Davis has a left shoulder contusion after going for 10 points and 15 rebounds against the Sacramento Kings. James finished with 32 points and seven rebounds. <i>Here’s everything we know about LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ injuries and their playing status vs. the Pistons.</i></p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(Get Access | Save $30)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>LeBron James injury status vs. Pistons</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Lakers-superstar-LeBron-James-next-to-Lakers-All-Star-Anthony-Davis.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Given LeBron James’s questionable injury report, the initial assumption is that he will suit against the Pistons. LeBron and AD are leading the Lakers with a 16-12 record, which is sixth in the Western Conference standings.</p><p>This is another opportunity to add a W in the win column. Perhaps the Lakers will clear James for Monday’s game to build off their three-game winning streak despite going 5-5 in their last ten outings. Davis wasn’t as sharp as LeBron. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-mic-catches-lebron-james-shutting-down-kings-fan-nsfw-diss">James is coming off of his 32-point performance</a> against the Kings.</p><p>However, Davis has dominated since the start of the Lakers’ winning streak. He continued his streak of six consecutive double-doubles, starting with a 40-point, 16-rebound performance in the Lakers’ 116-110 win against the Grizzlies. Then, he nearly went 20/20 (21 points, 19 rebounds) in Los Angeles’ first win against the Kings (113-100) before picking up their second on December 21.</p><p>Meanwhile, James has remained relatively consistent throughout December. In his last seven games, he has averaged 24.9 points on 47% shooting, 8.3 assists, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.1 steals. James flirted with a triple-double in the Lakers’ last meeting against the Pistons, finishing with 20 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds in a 115-103 loss. Davis scored 37 points and pulled nine rebounds in the same game on November 4.</p><p>Still, regarding James and Davis’ status for Monday’s game, there’s a good chance we’ll see both players in action at the Crypto.com Arena.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
