Washington Wizards Form

In their last match, Washington Wizards endured a 112-93 loss to Philadelphia 76ers, which meant their poor form in the league had extended to five defeats in six matches.

Going into Tuesday’s contest, the Washington Wizards are not particularly proficient offensively, having scored an average of 112.9 points per game. The hosts have kept their opponents to an average of 113.4 points per game and 113.7 points when playing at home.

Last year, the Washington Wizards failed to qualify for the playoffs after a 35-47 regular season. They ended up 12th in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the Southeast Division. Their chances of reaching postseason play this season don’t look good either, with the home side 31-37 so far.

The only reported injury concern for the Washington Wizards is Taj Gibson.

Detroit Pistons Form

The Detroit Pistons had a huge victory over the Indiana Pacers in their last match. They won 117-97 and hope this will prove to be a turning point, having only 1-9 in their last 10 games.

The Detroit Pistons have been having trouble scoring points this season. Their average of 111.4 points per game is one of the lowest in the NBA going into Tuesday’s matchup. The defense has been the away side’s Achilles’ heel, allowing an average of 118.6 points per game in 69 contests this season.

During the previous NBA season, the Detroit Pistons had a dismal 24-58 record, which put them in 14th place in the Eastern Conference and fifth in the Central Division. This prevented them from making the playoffs. They have continued to struggle this year, with a current record of 16-53, making it unlikely for them to make the postseason.

The Detroit Pistons have 7 players injured for the upcoming match in Alec Burks, Bojan Bogdanovic, Hamidou Diallo, Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Stewart, Cade Cunningham, and Jaden Ivey.
