Wizards at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 123, Wizards 115

Moneyline

PASS.

At -145 odds for the Pistons, the spread presents more profit.

Against the spread

LEAN PISTONS -4.5 (-115).

Poolemay sit, and the Wizards have not been able to compensate for his absence this season. While both teams have struggled mightily, Cunningham and Ivey should lead the Pistons to a much needed victory on their home court.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-115).

Both teams sport a 10-6 Over record this season, with their primary issue being defense. The Pistons and the Wizards are 23rd and 30th in defensive efficiency, respectively. Expect little defense and a high-scoring game between these struggling teams.
