The Bottom Line
This is the second of four matchups the Washington Wizards will have with the Detroit Pistons this season. Losing Cade Cunningham pretty much was the writing on the wall for the Pistons. They have leaned upon Jaden Ivey heavily. Look for them to do the same tonight vs. the Wizards. The Wizards will do well to lock him down. They have capable defenders at the guard spot who are considered veterans. Veterans tend to outsmart their opponents. This matchup the Pistons have may be one matchup where they sweep their opponent for the season series. The Wizards should win easily tonight and extend the streak to seven.
