Wizards vs Pistons Prediction

I don’t want to back the Wizards as much as the next guy but laying this many points with the Pistons is crazy. The Pistons have covered just 3 of their last 10 games. We also saw the Wizards beat the Pistons last month on the road as 16.5-point underdogs. The underdog has covered 7 of the last 9 games between the Pistons and Wizards. Since February 5, the Pistons are 3-4 ATS as a double-digit underdog and two of those failed covers were outright losses. Give me the endless points with the Wizards.
