The Lakers (8-2) play at the Pistons (6-2) at 3:00 PM PT. Luka Doncic scored 42, 40 and 53 points in the Lakers' last 3 games, all wins.

APEX ranks each team by the minutes its players played in the last 3 games. The Lakers are #9 of 30 at +2.0 per 36. The Pistons are #13 at +1.4. ESPN lists Jalen Duren Out tonight. He did not play in those 3 games, and Paul Reed started at center in each of them.

The gap is 0.6, so this is an APEX edge: Lakers. We call an edge only at a gap of 0.5 or more, and a gap this small is not a strong signal. APEX edge record: 0-0. Last night's even call (Spurs at Trail Blazers) does not count as a win or a loss.

Doncic rates +4.2 APEX/36 over 19,334 minutes. Cade Cunningham rates +3.3 over 9,622 minutes.
