Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers

Both teams are in very good form at the moment, with Denver on a 7-game winning streak and Spurs on an 11-game winning streak. The Spurs have minimal chances to win the western conference, but it would require OKC to slip up significantly, which is almost impossible. It guarantees the Spurs the second spot and it remains unclear how much risk the coaching staff will take with Wemby, especially since Wemby missed the last game against the Clippers due to an ankle injury. Today, his minutes could be limited to around 20 if it is not determined that he will not be playing until the evening. This is an important game for Denver, especially since the Lakers' Luka has dropped out and the fight for the 3rd seed spot is still ongoing. Losing here could result in a loss of home court advantage in the end, especially with Houston closely trailing behind.
