Both teams will come into this matchup with a decent amount of rest under their belt and the line is currently set at Washington -3 and a total of 215 points.<\/p>\n These two teams played each other twice already this season with the last matchup being on Valentine’s Day. Washington is 2-0 in these games and both teams are 1-1 against the spread in their matchups, with one game gone over the total and the other staying under.<\/p>\n Wizards’ Missing Piece<\/h3>\nThe Wizards made a splash trade for Kristaps Porzingis at the trade deadline, and it is still unclear when the veteran big man will suit up for the Wizards for the first time. The Wizards are a fringe team to make the play-in tournament and they need all the help they can get. Over their last ten games, the Wizards are 4-6 and are letting up 111.3 points per contest.<\/p>\n The Wizards’ last two games were tough losses. They only put up 86 points against the Cavs and lost in double overtime at home to the Spurs. This game should be viewed as a bounce-back spot for the Wizards, but I would not be so sure.<\/p>\n Motor City Momentum<\/h3>\nThe Detroit Pistons have played some inspired basketball since the All-Star break and are winners of two of their last three games. The Pistons are led by leading scorers Jerami Grant, rookie Cade Cunningham, and Saddiq Bay.<\/p>\n What has been most impressive about the Pistons over their last five games is their ability to win close games against stronger teams. The Pistons have beaten the Hornets, the Celtics, and the Cavs in games that were decided by three or fewer points. This is very inspiring for a young team looking toward the future.<\/p>\n Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons Prediction<\/h2>\nThe Pistons are hot and the Wizards are trending downward. It helps that this game will be played in Capital One Arena in Washington DC, but are the Wizards really good enough to be 3-point favorites over anyone right now?<\/p>\n While I do not love any picks for this game, I would lean toward under 215 points<\/strong> for this contest. Neither team has a ton of fire power offensively, both are competitive defensively, and both teams struggle scoring points in bunches. I expect a close game with both teams playing hard for desperately needed victories.<\/p>\n Interested in pacing a bet on tonight’s Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons contest?
