Pregame Reading:

The Ringer was not impressed with the Lakers' Monday win over the Knicks.

Stan Van Gundy encouraged Reggie Jackson to make some adjustments to his post-halftime routine against Philadelphia.

NBA Math (new great Twitter follow, for the interested) had a nice visualization of how slightly-below average the Pistons were last week.
