Pistons at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 118, Pistons 108

Moneyline

PASS.

You have 2 teams that are only playing for pride at this point which means I’m going to ride the hot hand which is the Wizards (having won 3 of their last 4). I’ll save my bet for the spread with the better odds.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS -4 (-108).

It seems like the Pistons just want this season to end, having lost their last 9 games with 9 left to play. Washington has also owned Detroit of late, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings. The Wizards have also covered the spread in 3 of the last 4. It looks like Washington has found a formula that works.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

Three of the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams have gone Under the total. The Pistons are 2-8 against the Over in their last 10 while the Wizards have been Under in 3 of their last 4. I’m going to ride the trends and take the Under.

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.

Pistons at Wizards odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 112, Wizards 104

Money line

SPRINKLE on the PISTONS (+135) with the plan of hitting their spread harder since that’s the sharper wager.

Detroit has more talent than the Wizards and the Pistons are a team I’m buying stock in now.

Detroit is 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in its last four games and all three victories came against teams currently in playoff seeding.

Cleveland Cavaliers rookie PF Evan Mobley may be the runaway favorite for the NBA Rookie of the Year but Pistons wing Cade Cunningham, and No. 1 overall pick, will be the best player from this draft.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

Definitely BET the PISTONS +3.5 (-107) heavier than or instead of their ML because the Wizards perform worse versus expectations when playing bad teams.

Washington is 7-18-1 ATS versus teams with a losing record while Detroit is 12-12 ATS versus losing teams. The Wizards have the worst ATS margin versus teams in the bottom-10 of adjusted net rating (minus-5.1 ATS margin), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

There’s also been some reverse line movement in the betting market as Detroit opened as a 5.5-point underdog but has been lowered to the current price despite more than 80% of the cash being on Washington, according to VegasInsider.com.

The PISTONS +3.5 (-107) is my favorite wager in this game.

Over/Under

PASS since my prediction is in-sync with the market’s projected total hence there’s no value for me in this number. For what it’s worth, the Pistons are 15-15-1 O/U on the road and the Wizards are 17-13-1 O/U at home.

Pistons at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wizards 115, Pistons 105

Money line (ML)

The Pistons are awful on the road, having won only seven games on the season. Washington isn’t great at home at 11-16 but has been victorious in four of their last six contests. With how poorly the Pistons have played on the road this season, it wouldn’t be a smart bet to go with them. Take the WIZARDS -160.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Pistons are surprisingly good against the spread this season. They are 30-24-2 ATS, Washington is 29-26 ATS. Both teams have covered the spread in their last three games, but the Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last seven. Because there is only a 3.5-point spread, an even better value than taking the Wizards on the money line is to take WIZARDS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

In both their previous games against each other, they have finished Under the total. Four of the last five for the Pistons have gone Under and seven of the last 10 for the Wizards have also gone Under. Stick with the trend. Take UNDER 226.5 POINTS (-110).
