Pistons vs Wizards Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
WAS Wizards +14.5(-110)

There’s been scary news came in for the Detroit Pistons this week, as star point guard Cade Cunningham will be out for an extended period of time with a collapsed lung. He left the game on Tuesday against the Washington Wizards just 5 minutes in, but the Pistons were still able to rally to take home the 130-117 win. These teams will now run it back for a second straight game, as the Pistons will try to win their 50th game of the season.

Jalen Duran stepped up in a big way in Tuesday’s action with Cunningham out, finishing the game with 36 points on 13-17 shooting from the floor. With the Wizards missing Alex Sarr, they had no answer for the Detroit big man. Sarr is questionable to return for Thursday’s game with a toe injury. Cunningham has not missed a lot of time this season, so it could be unclear who will take over the majority of time in the starting point guard spot. It will likely be a committee of Daniss Jenkins, Marcus Sasser, Duncan Robinson, and Caris LeVert slated to run the offense. With question marks in their backcourt, it is hard for me to back the Pistons to cover this number. These two teams have played each other three times this season, and the Wizards have been competitive in all three games. It took a 137-135 overtime win for the Pistons to beat the Wizards in their first meeting, and then the Wizards beat the Pistons in Detroit 126-117 back in February. I like the Wizards and their plethora of young guards to keep this game competitive against Detroit.

Pistons vs Wizards prediction: Wizards +14.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
