Preview

The Detroit Pistons continue on the road and will visit the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. These teams have met twice so far this season, the Wizards have won both games, one at home and one on the road.

DETROIT PISTONS

The Pistons are coming from an overtime win against the Hornets. Kelly Olynyk made a fadeaway jumper from the baseline at the overtime buzzer and the Detroit Pistons beat Charlotte 127-126 on Sunday night, their first victory over the Hornets in nearly 4 1/2 years.

Detroit has won only 6 games on the road this season but they're 14-17 ATS away. Their current record is 15-46 and rank 14th in the Eastern Conference. Cade Cunningham is averaging 16 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists for the Pistons. Bey is averaging 17.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists over the last 10 games for Detroit.

In their last 10 games the Pistons are 3-7, averaging 105.3 points, 46.8 rebounds, 24.3 assists, 6.8 steals and 4.7 blocks per game while shooting 41.9% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 116.5 points.

WASHINGTON WIZARDS

The Wizards are 27-33 overall and are 11th in the Eastern Conference, they have gone 15-16 in home games and have lost 4 of their last 6 in Washington.

Kuzma is averaging 17 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists for the Wizards. Corey Kispert is averaging 2.0 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games for Washington.

In their last 10 games the Wizards are 4-6, averaging 107.6 points, 40.8 rebounds, 24.6 assists, 8.0 steals and 4.2 blocks per game while shooting 46.8% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 111.3 points per game.

INJURIES: Porzingis has already been ruled out for this game.

BETTING TRENDS

Detroit are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Detroit's last 7 games.

Washington are 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 games.

Washington are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games at home.

Prediction

The Pistons are looking like a different team after the All-Star break, they have covered the spread in their last 4 games and are 1-1 ATS vs Wizards this season. Wizards have struggled offensively scoring 107 ppg in their last 10 games and are covering the spread only the 32% of the time as favorites. It's the Pistons with the points or pass for me.

PICK: Pistons +4 (-110)
