Best Bet for Detroit Pistons vs Washington Wizards

Best Bet: Detroit Pistons -14.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Detroit Pistons vs Washington Wizards is Pistons -14.5 (-110) against the spread.

The Detroit Pistons are ruling the charts with one of the best records. They own the homecourt with a 20-5 win-loss record, and have won eight of their last ten games. In addition to it, the Pistons have the 11th-best offense in the league and the seco nd-best defense. On the other hand, the Washington Wizards are struggling with a poor 4-19 record on road. Their offense and defense put them in 29th spot in the standings.

The spread at Pistons -14.5 fits the hosts well considering the Wizards’ poor form. They cover well in such spots.

Keeping their homecourt advantage, solid form as well as offensive and defensive edge in mind, we are laying the Pistons -14.5 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect them to cover the number tonight.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Detroit Pistons vs Washington Wizards

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Detroit Pistons -17.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: Cade Cunningham over 24.5 points
Leg 3: Jalen Duren over 18.5 points

Combined odds: +875

We have built this same-game parlay around the Pistons to record a big win at home. Cade Cunningham is the scoring leader while Duren has established his reliability this season with a huge surge in his performance. We see them shouldering scoring responsibility for their side against a weaker yet red-hot Wizards.

These legs are correlated considering if the Pistons dominate at home, their players get volume and more chances to score.
