The Wizards are coming into this game with a 2-1 record overall and they are 1-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off of a loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last game after going on a 2 game winning streak with wins against the Indiana Pacers and the Chicago Bulls.

The current betting odds have the Wizards listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Wizards are off to a good start this season at 2-1 already and even though they did not finish very strongly at the end of last season, they made a lot of moves to help their team and they should be much improved this season. They have already been playing well in their few games while the Pistons are off to a 1-2 start and are still in a rebuilding mode. They have a lot of good young players on their team but they still need a lot of time to gel as a unit and the Wizards are in a much better position to win this year. Porzingis has added a nice defensive element for the Wizards that they didn't have last season and that will help a lot in this game at home against the Pistons. The best way to place a bet here is on the Wizards to cover the spread in this game.

“Four turnovers and four points in OT, it’s really tough to win that way. There were quite a few good moments, but turnovers were big and so were offensive rebounds.” - Wes Unseld after his team’s loss against the Cavaliers on Sunday.
