Wizards at Pistons picks and predictions
Prediction
Wizards 118, Pistons 110
Moneyline
PASS.
Taking the Wizards (-230) to win on the road at the current odds isn’t advised considering the minimal profit you’ll receive if they do secure the victory.
Against the spread
BET WIZARDS -5.5 (-118).
These teams have played very differently recently. Washington has won each of its last 2 games by 10 or more points and 4 of its last 6 by 6 or more points.
The Wizards are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Pistons are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win.
Over/Under
UNDER 237.5 (-108) is how I’d confidently bet on the total in this contest. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in offensive rating despite it being a pace-up game for the Wizards.
Washington has gone Under in each of its last 4 road games against a team with a losing home record and the Under is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between the Wizards and the Pistons.
