Pistons vs Wizards prediction
While neither the Pistons nor Wizards are going anywhere, the Wizards have won 3 of their last 4 games. In other words, 21.4 percent of the Wizards season wins have come in their last 4 games. The Pistons are racking up the losses, and there’s a chance they could be without Cunningham and Ivey. The Wizards beat the Pistons by 14 points on the road back in January. There’s probably better options out there on a loaded Friday NBA card, but if forced to pick, I’m going to side with the Wizards at home.
