Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons preview
The Wizards have struggled throughout the season and are all but out of playoff contention. They are coming off of a 119-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Alex Sarr led Washington with a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Jordan Poole had 16 points as well.
The Wizards have won four of the past 10 games and are just 6-24 on the road for the season. They are also expected to have tired legs after having to travel from Toronto to Detroit for the second leg of a back-to-back set.
The Pistons bounced back from their defeat to the Golden State Warriors with a 119-112 win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Cade Cunningham had 28 points, while Jalen Duren had a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Tobias Harris had 20 points and nine rebounds.
Detroit is currently placed sixth in the standings and has a 5-game gap with the seventh-placed Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons are also on a hot streak with seven wins in the past 10 games. If they can continue this form, they are certain to make the playoffs after a dismal 2023-24 season.
Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons betting props
Jordan Poole’s points total is set at 22.5. The oddsmakers don’t favor him to go over and neither do we. Bet on the under.
Cade Cunningham’s points total is set at 27.5, which is over his season average of 25.6 points. He has, however, gone past that mark in four straight games and should be able to do so against Washington as well.
Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons prediction
The oddsmakers favor the Pistons heavily to get a win at home. We expect the same. Detroit should cover the spread for a win in a game where the team total exceeds 234.5 points.
