Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The Detroit Pistons (3-36) take on the Washington Wizards (7-31) Monday on Martin Luther King Day with tip-off from Capital One Arena set for 3 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Pistons vs. Wizards odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Wizards lead 1-0

The Pistons come into town on a 7-game losing streak as they covered as 9-point dogs in a 112-110 defeat to the Houston Rockets Friday. The Pistons are operating without their best player, G Cade Cunningham, who will miss this game with a knee injury.

The Wizards stunned the Atlanta Hawks 127-99 Saturday as they covered as 8-point underdogs. That snapped a 6-game losing streak, F Kyle Kuzma went for 29 points, 6 boards and 4 assists, and he has 20+ points in 3 of 4 games.

Pistons at Wizards and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 119, Pistons 110

Moneyline

There is no chance I'm taking the Wizards against anyone at -210.

However, if you SGP WIZARDS ML + KYLE KUZMA 20 POINTS (-131), the price is much more realistic.

Against the spread

The Wizards are 4-3-1 ATS over their last 8 games. The Pistons are 9-11 ATS on the road, and Washington is just 3-13 at home straight up. So it's conceivable to go with Detroit here. However, I think without Cunningham, this should be a walk in the park for the WIZARDS -5.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The 1st meeting went Under 236.5, and the Over has hit just 3 times in the last 10 matchups of these teams. The Wizards have cashed 4 out of 5 Unders. The Pistons cash a lot of Overs because of their defense, but Washington isn't shooting the lights out at 25th with 35.3% from 3-point land.

I'll take the UNDER 240.5 (-110).
