The Washington Wizards have the rest advantage here and they just comfortably beat the Pistons a few days ago. The Detroit Pistons played last night and they’re losing their last five games by ana average of 4.2 points while struggling offensively for long stretches. Westbrook is also coming off some of his best performances of the season and he raises the ceiling of the Wizards when playing at a high level. I’ll lay the bucket with the Wizards here.
