Detroit at Washington

The Washington Wizards have built a playoff-caliber team after some really trying seasons. They are off to a good start at 5-2 on the season. Despite the 5-2 record, their last three games have not shown the same level of play. Despite playing Indiana twice, and Toronto, they have been out-scored by a total of 10 points. Detroit has assembled some good young talent, but this team is still a year or two away from contending. The Pistons have failed to cover any of their seven games this season. It sure looks like a flat spot here for Washington in what appears to be an easy game. They have sure played below average in this situation as they are 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. The Pistons have taken advantage in this spot as they are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Play on Detroit.
