Washington is one of the top defensive teams in the NBA, 10th in points allowed, ninth in rebounds, and sixth in field goal shooting defense. Yet they are off a terrible defensive game, getting blasted by Cleveland, 127-89, so it's bounce back time! The 38-point loss was at home, the team's biggest home defeat in 40 years. Detroit is 11-18 at home, and the Pistons are 1-5 ATS following a win. Detroit has been in win-one, lose-one mode the last seven games, off a win over Chicago, but preceded by a 104-87 blowout loss at home by the Spurs. The Wizards ended a four-game skid in Detroit with a 106-99 victory Dec. 30th, 2013. John Wall had 27 points and 11 assists in a 107-103 home win over Detroit on November 12 and is averaging 30.0 points over his last three meetings with the Pistons. Play Washington.
