Pistons vs Wizards Prediction
The Pistons are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’re rolling right now, with wins in 8 of their last 9 games and covers in 7 of those games. The Wizards are awful, and that includes being 1-9 ATS on the season. The Wizards have zero betting value in their current form. At this point, you should be blindly fading the Wizards until they cash a ticker or two. These are two teams heading into completely different directions. I’ll lay the points with the Pistons on Monday night.
