The Pistons haven’t been great following a win recently, but I think tonight is the night they string back-to-back wins together again. Detroit has good balance on the team right now with Reggie Jackson back in the mix. Washington feels like a two-man team behind Wall and Bradley Beal, which the Pistons should be able to defend. Washington is just 1-3 against the spread as a home underdog this season, so look for the Wizards to fall once again.
