Washington Wizards Betting Preview
The Washington Wizards have been ice-cold so far as they’ve lost nine of their first 10 games and they will be eager to arrest an eight-game losing streak after getting beaten by the Mavericks in a 111-105 loss on Saturday. CJ McCollum led the team with 25 points, two steals and two blocks, Cam Whitmore provided the spark off the bench with 19 points while Alex Sarr chipped in with 17 points and five assists.
As a team, the Wizards shot 41 percent from the field and 11 of 35 from the 3-point line as they worked so hard to overcome an early 14-point deficit to lead by eight points early in the fourth quarter. Only to go cold and score just 15 points in the final 11:05 to allow the Mavericks to run them down in the end.
Detroit Pistons Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league as they’ve won eight of their last nine games. They will be looking to build on their current six-game win streak after sneaking past the 76ers in a 111-108 road win last night. Cade Cunningham led the team with 26 points and 11 assists, Jalen Duren added 21 points with 16 rebounds and two blocks while Duncan Robinson chipped in with 17 points.
As a team, the Pistons shot 47 percent from the field and 13 of 30 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they scored just 17 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 13 points. However, they took the lead early in the fourth quarter and just did enough to stay in front the rest of the way.

Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Wizards are still slightly shorthanded with Bilal Coulibaly ruled out, while the Pistons are missing Tobias Harris, Marcus Sasser and Isaiah Stewart. The Wizards have been in dreadful form so far, but they were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the Mavericks in their last outing. In contrast, the Pistons have been in red-hot form and they came through with flying colours in a tough test against a good 76ers squad last night. The line is certainly hefty for this one, but I think the Pistons do it rather easily in this matchup at home.
