Pistons vs Wizards: Can the Pistons win their second road game of the season?
The Detroit Pistons are visiting the Washington Wizards on Monday night at Capital One Arena in DC in a matchup between the two worst teams in the East.
The Pistons are on the pace for the worst record ever
The Detroit Pistons are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with the worst record in the NBA of 3 wins and 36 losses. They are only 1-19 on the road and are currently on a seven-game losing streak after snapping the longest losing streak ever of 28 games. The Pistons are coming off a 112-110 loss to the Houston Rockets. They are 17th in the league with 46.9% shooting from the field and 26th scoring 111.3 points per game. Cade Cunningham leads the team with 22.8 points per game.
Can the Wizards improve in the second half of the season?
The Washington Wizards are 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 7-31 record. After losing six consecutive games, the Wizards defeated the Atlanta Hawks on the road, 127-99. The Wizards are 12th in the league, shooting 47.9% from the field, and are the worst rebounding team in the league, with only 39.8 boards per game. Kyle Kuzma leads the team with 22.4 points per game, followed by Jordan Poole, who has 16.9.
Betting Trends
The Wizards have won the last 16 home games against the Pistons and the last 9 overall. Detroit is 0-7 SU in the last 7 games and 0-18 SU in the last 18 games on the road.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams are having a nightmare season, and there isn’t much they can do to change the scenario. Still, the Wizards are quite better and are coming off their best game of the season, winning in Atlanta. Washington has an opportunity to win two consecutive games for the first time this season when they host the only team in the conference with a worst record. Washington has been dominant against the Pistons, winning the last 16 matchups in DC, and knowing that the Pistons will miss their best player, Cade Cunningham, the Wizards will find a way to win.
