Pistons at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Wizards 116, Pistons 107
Money line (ML)
Playing the WIZARDS (-160) on the money line is not a terrible idea, as then you need not worry about laying the two buckets.
The price is not out of line, and the home side is a good bet as the Pistons (+135) had a home game on Friday night and then had the travel and quick turnaround Saturday.

Against the spread (ATS)
The WIZARDS -3.5 (-110) are a good bet despite the fact the Pistons +3.5 (-110) are a perfect 4-0 ATS in the past four games on the road.
However, while the Wizards are just 2-6 ATS in the past eight as a home favorite, they’re an impressive 4-1 ATS in the past five against teams with an overall losing record.
And Washington has covered four straight meetings in D.C. against the Pistons.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 224.5 (-110) is the way to go here. The Under has hit in each of the past four meetings in this series in D.C., making for a nice parlay with the home side. The Under has connected in five of the past eight overall for the Pistons, too.
