The L.A. Lakers look to bounce back tonight and avoid their first three-game losing streak in nearly two years when they host the Detroit Pistons.

NBA basketball betting odds have not been posted at this time.

Kobe Bryant was 5 of 20 from the field on Sunday and scored 18 points, two nights after finishing with 19 against Denver. Bryant, who aggravated a groin injury against the Rockets but is set to play tonight, hasn’t been held under 20 in three straight games since April 2-7, 2005.

While Bryant tries to end his shooting slump, Detroit’s Ben Gordon is coming off a far worse performance. The Pistons led Dallas by six at halftime Sunday but lost 95-90 as Gordon missed 15 of 16 shots, the last a potential tying 3-pointer with two seconds left.

The teams split their two meetings in ’08-’09, with Detroit handing the Lakers their first loss, 106-95 at home.
