After losing to the other LA team, the Detroit Pistons are in Crypto.com Arena hoping to not start a second losing skid this season. They’re hosted by a reworked, experimental Lakers trying out new strategies.

The social media star -- who boasts millions of followers on Twitch -- was documenting his time at Crypto.com Arena to support LeBron James on his 41st birthday ... when at one point before tipoff, a staffer tapped him on the shoulder and asked to have a chat in the tunnels.

The Los Angeles Lakers spent the weekend looking to regroup following a three-game losing streak, including a loss on Christmas Day.

Luka Doncic scores 34 and LeBron James adds 24 in the Lakers’ 125-101 win. Nick Smith Jr. chips in 21 off the bench with Austin Reaves sidelined at least four weeks because of a calf injury.

They will now face a big test on Tuesday when they host the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons may have lost two games in a row, but they have the Eastern Conference's best record at 24-8, and they capitalize on missed shots and turnovers better than almost any other team.
