I’m still not to the point where I want to lay chalk with the Washington Wizards, but they’re certainly off to a strong start and their defense has been impressive. The Detroit Pistons are a young team, and you’re just never quite sure what you’re going to get from them night to night. The Wizards are a bit more trustworthy and will have the best player on the court in this game. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the home team.
