Detroit Pistons vs Washington Wizards Analysis
What else can be said about the Detroit Pistons, other than they are by far the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Well, they are among the front runners in Victor Wembanyama’s sweepstakes – he being projected as the top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. The Pistons rank 28th in points per game with about 111 and 29th in points allowed at 119 per contest, respectively. Their injury list keeps growing to the point that it’s now easier just to list who is playing rather than keeping track of everyone who’s out injured – adding Marvin Bagley and Jaden Ivey to that long list. James Wiseman, Killian Hayes, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Livers have been their best players recently.
Last Monday night, the Washington Wizards edged out the Pistons 119-117 in Detroit – their last win. Since then, however, they have lost three consecutive games and 5 of 6 overall with that lone victory coming against Detroit. As a result, Washington now stands at 31-37 and has dropped out of the Eastern Conference top 10, falling one half game behind 10th place Chicago and one full game behind 9th place Toronto. On Sunday evening, Washington suffered back-to-back losses against Atlanta before succumbing to a 112-93 defeat at Philadelphia. Corey Kispert had 25 points for Washington while Bradley Beal added 13 and Kyle Kuzma added 12 points and 11 rebounds; Kristaps Porzingis only had 9 points and 6 boards in that loss.

Detroit Pistons vs Washington Wizards Free Pick
On Tuesday night, there are several factors that favor Washington over the Pistons. Not only are they an unimpressive team, but their best players are out and likely won’t return – leaving them with a shell of an already poor squad that takes the court. Conversely, Washington comes home after being on the road and needs a win to climb back into the top 10. Basketball betting experts can’t see them letting this opportunity pass them by.
Free Pick: Washington Wizards -11 (-116)
