Detroit Pistons - Indiana Pacers

I am very hopeful for Lukas in this game, even though he is returning from a minor injury. I wonder if it was serious, but it's important to maintain a Christmas atmosphere and I think we need to rely on strong individual performances. He is very agile with the ball, and can distribute it to players such as Reaves, Smart, James, and others. However, there are concerns about rebounding, as Ayton stands firmly under the basket with his height. But with such a coefficient, it's worth taking the risk in my opinion.

Knowing LeBron, he loves to bloom in the spotlight, so I think it's also worth risking a bet, the odds are really tempting and it's worth a small try. With Luka and Reaves back, I think they should once again take on a different role and give Luka the opportunity to shine, as his game looks much better than when LeBron is in the lead due to understandable reasons. Therefore, I really hope that LeBron will share the ball more and even fight for rebounds when needed, although the chances are lower this time since Houston doesn't give many opportunities when they are ahead. However, a double-double with such odds is definitely possible.

It seems that Luka Doncic will return tonight, so I think it's worth taking a risk with the Lakers with a slightly bigger advantage, even though the simple option also seems to have a good coefficient, but trying to squeeze out the maximum coefficient on Christmas Day is worth paying attention to. The Lakers start looks really solid and I personally have a lot of hopes that they will lead the team to victory. The fact is, Houston has the potential to score over, but their recent game hasn't been inspiring, even though their composition hasn't changed, which can't be said for the Lakers team, where it was either Luka or Reaves who had a big impact on their results. One LeBron can't make a difference because of a weak bench, but when all 3 play, their offense works very effectively and many didn't have a defense against their attack, so I believe Houston will lose by a margin of 10+ points tonight.
