Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons prediction

Two bad teams and an early weird start, what could possibly go wrong. With that said, the Detroit Pistons are a bad team that’s had a lot of close calls and plays hard. The Washington Wizards are a bad team that plays a carless style of ball, and it often feels like they care more about having fun and goofing off. If the Pistons cant win this game at home, it’s going to be a while before they win again. Only laying a bucket. I’ll take my chances with the Pistons, the team that actually tries to win most nights.
