Detroit Pistons Betting Preview
The Detroit Pistons have been in pretty good form as they’ve won seven of their first 10 games and they will be eager to build some momentum after snapping a two-game skid with a 122-111 win over the Wizards on Monday. John Collins led the team with 24 points and 10 rebounds on nine of 13 shooting, Duncan Robinson and Daniss Jenkins each scored 22 points while Cade Cunningham chipped in with 17 points and seven assists. As a team, the Pistons shot 47 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a 37-point burst in the second quarter and they didn’t ease off until they led by 19 points before they started to pull some of their starters.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have gone cold following a decent start to the season as they are now on a five-game losing streak after getting routed by the struggling Pacers in a 114-101 road defeat on Wednesday. Kyshawn George led the team with 25 points, nine rebounds and three assists, Anthony Davis added 21 points with 13 rebounds and two blocks while Trae Young and Tre Johnson each scored 15 points. As a team, the Wizards shot just 41 percent from the field and 11 of 35 from the 3-point line as they went on a 21-10 run in the third quarter to take the lead after trailing by 10 points, but they went ice-cold and didn’t score a single point in the first 3:14 of the fourth quarter to allow the Pacers to pull away.
Detroit v Washington Free Prediction
The Pistons are still missing Isaiah Joe and Jalen Duren while the Wizards have ruled out Justin Champagnie, Tristan Vukcevic and Jamir Watkins.
These two teams last met on Monday and it was the Pistons who rolled to a relatively comfortable 122-111 win without having to lean on Cunningham for most of their offense which spells trouble for the Wizards who have lost another game since that meeting. It’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, but the Pistons have been resting since Monday and I expect them to grab another double digit win here if they get off to a quick start. Maybe the Wizards can surprise me, but with the line at single digits, I will stick with the Pistons to get another win and cover on the road.
