This is a battle of 2-14 teams but I think Det is actually better plus they are at home. As a modest ML favorite of -130 this is simply a philosophical play. I’ve said it all year long: Bet against Washington whenever you can

Yep, we know it's been almost a month (October 28, to be exact) since the Pistons won a game. But if looking for some silver linings, note the home games at Little Caesars have been a lot more competitive, and against some heavyweight teams like the Nuggets, Sizers, and Warriors. That Detroit is favored tells you how bad things have gone lately for the Wiz, on a nine-game losing streak of their own. Play Pistons

This is a great matchup for Cade Cunningham. The Wizards have played at the second-fastest pace and have the worst defensive rating in the league. In his last game, he faced a Pacers team that has played at the fastest pace and has the third-worst defensive rating. He emerged from that matchup with 31 points on 26 shot attempts. With all of the shot attempts that he can handle likely coming his way again, he has a great opportunity to reach at least 25 points.
