Detroit at Washington

Neither The Detroit Pistons, nor the Washington Wizards are a threat to make the playoffs, nor have they been in years. One thing is certain, and that is the Pistons are a lot closer, and should be able to smell a win in the Nation's Capital tonight. The Pistons have really stepped things up defensively of late, holding their last four opponents to an average of just 85 points per game. They certainly have capitalized on this opportunity of late as they are 19-7 ATS when playing against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400 in their last 26 tries. It has been even better vs. the Wizards as they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. And, the Wiz are just 48-67 ATS the past five seasons when facing a team under .420. Detroit is 11-5 straight-up since last season vs. teams that score 91 or fewer points per game. Take Detroit.
