Pistons' Starting Lineup Tonight: Detroit Pistons' Predicted Starting Lineup Against Washington Wizards
On Saturday, the Detroit Pistons lost a close game. They lost to the Sacramento Kings 103-101. Buddy Hield of the Kings made a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. His impressive shot helped the Kings get the road victory over the Pistons. His fadeaway shot was only three of Hield's 35 points that night.
The Pistons had the lead in the first three quarters, but the Kings made a run in the fourth. Hield was a big part of the Kings' run. The loss to the Kings puts the Piston at a record of 20-25. They will have a chance to get a win in their next game. Today, the Pistons will face the Washington Wizards.
In their loss against the Kings, the Pistons had two players in double figures. Blake Griffin led the team with 38 points, and Luke Kennard had 19 points off the bench. Pistons' center Andre Drummond missed this game after suffering an injury against the Miami Heat, with Griffin and Kennard being the only two players in double figures, it is no wonder why the Pistons lost. However, they did keep a lead for most of the game. They lost their lead when it counted most. And, Buddy Hield and the Kings took advantage of that
Today's game is on the road. The Wizards will host the Pistons in DC. The Wizards won their most recent game. They beat the New York Knicks 101-100. Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 26 points and nine rebounds.
This game was the NBA's London Game of 2019. The teams played at The O2 Arena in London, England. This game had a surprising ending that was the subject of NBA Twitter. Thomas Bryant of the Wizards went for a layup, and Allonzo Trier of the Knicks went for the block. Trier was called for goaltending by the refs. This gave the Wizards the basket and the lead. The call caused the Wizards to win by one point. This win improved their record to 19-26.
The Wizards are 10th in the Eastern Conference. They are right below the Pistons. A win over the Pistons would tie them with the Pistons. Both teams are likely aware of that. The Pistons lost their game against the Kings but they could possibly win their next game. Their spot in the East might depend on it.
