Wizards vs Pistons Prediction
The Pistons just beat up on the Wizards on Tuesday and have the ability to do it again. The Wizards are awful and banged up. However, we’re getting another massive line. The Wizards have covered each of the last 4 games against the Pistons. The second game in a short span is also usually more competitive. The Pistons are 3-5 ATS in their last 8 games as a double-digit favorite. I’ll grab the points once again with the Wizards.
