Detroit Pistons VS Washington Wizards Betting expert picks

Detroit Pistons VS Washington Wizards Moneyline

Take the Washington Wizards to win (1.43) for the clear win on the moneyline.

It’s hard to argue with the +190 moneyline odds on a Detroit Pistons win here. The hosts are on a five-game losing skid at Little Caesars Arena and are coming off a 111-105 defeat to the Dallas Mavericks. The Washington Wizards have been in impressive form, currently riding a six-game winning streak. They have even won their last five road games in a row. The odds of them achieving another victory away from home are estimated to be 70%, as indicated by their -230 odds on the moneyline.

Detroit Pistons VS Washington Wizards Spread

Take the Washington Wizards -5.5 (1.87) to cover.

The Washington Wizards open as the 5.5 point road favorites against the Detroit Pistons, according to the sports betting sites. This suggests they should win by a comfortable margin at the very least. With the average margin of victory in the last five matchups of this series being 8.4 points, it seems as though the smart money lies in a one-score game on Wednesday.

In the last three games against the Washington Wizards, the Detroit Pistons have failed to utilize their home-court advantage, losing two times at the Little Caesars Arena by an average of 3.0 points. Taking the Detroit Pistons against the spread has been a bad call in recent weeks. They’ve failed to cover in their last five home matches and are a dismal 3-7 ATS in the past ten outings overall.

The Washington Wizards, on the other hand, have covered the spread in six of their last seven games. In their past 10 matches, the Washington Wizards went 7-3 ATS and also ended up 8-2 ATS from their ten most recent road trips.

Detroit Pistons VS Washington Wizards Total

There has been a trend of low-scoring games between the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards recently. The points have just not been there for either team. In fact, in their past ten matchups, the total only averaged 210.6 points.

For this latest showdown, the total line is available at 237.0. This is 27.8 points higher than the combined 209.2-point average the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards put up in their last five meetings. Betting on the Under in the total market returns odds of -110.

The total has averaged 241.0 points in the last ten Detroit Pistons games. The total went over just once in the last five home matches for the Detroit Pistons, leaving the home team 5-5 against the total across their last 10 games overall.

As for the Washington Wizards, the average total has been 229.6 points in the away team’s past ten matches and 226.8 points in the last five on the road.
