Pistons at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 111, Pistons 104

Moneyline

PASS.

Washington (-850) should make it 3-for-3 against Detroit this season, but you should never risk 8 1/2 times your potential return on a moneyline wager.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS +12.5 (-108).

The Wizards are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an outright loss, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 playing on 1 day of rest, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game.

The Pistons are 10-6-1 ATS as double-digit underdogs this season, and they have played marginally better against the spread on the road than at home.

This is just too many points for a Washington cover, BET PISTONS +12.5 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 222.5 (-112).

The Under is 4-0 in the Pistons' last 4 games following an ATS win and 4-1 in their last 5 games following a straight-up win. The Wizards are cashed the Under in back-to-back games and 3 of their last 5.

The Under is 7-3 in the last 10 games between these teams and 15-5-2 in their last 22 meetings in Washington.
