  • The road team has won each of the last four games between the Pistons and Wizards.
  • The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in six of the Wizards’ last seven games.

Detroit Pistons vs Washington Wizards Prediction

The Detroit Pistons have played hard this season and if they’re going to capitalize on these competitive showings they need to result from it at some point. The Washington Wizards haven’t won a game this month, and they’re 3-8 ATS on the season. The Wizards are below average offensively and 30th in points allowed. I don’t want much to do with the Wizards in their current form. The Pistons should win this game and inch closer to a .500 record and a potentially successful season. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Pistons.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Detroit Pistons -5.5
