Best Bet for Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons

Best Bet: Detroit Pistons -16 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons is Pistons -16 (-110) against the spread.

The Washington Wizards are seeded towards the bottom of the standings, and have been unofficially disqualified from the playoffs race. They haven’t been able to record any victory in the last 13 games. When it comes to their on-court statistics, the Wizards possess one of the worst offenses and defenses in the league. On the other hand, the Pistons are dominating the league, and are amongst top teams when it comes to offenses and defenses. This clearly signifies that the Pistons have got an upper hand over their counterparts.

The spread at Pistons -16 fits the visitors well considering their overall edge over their counterparts and the Wizards’ woeful run. They cover well in such spots.

Keeping their elite on-court record in mind, we are comfortably laying the Detroit Pistons -16 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the guests to cover the number comfortably.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Jalen Duren Over 23.5 points
Leg 2: Tobias Harris Over 14.5 points
Leg 3: Jalen Duren Over 11.5 rebounds

Combined odds: +449

We have built this same-game parlay around the Pistons to dominate the court heavily. Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris are likely to take the scoring lead for the Pistons during Cade Cunningham’s absence. Apart from it, Jalen Duren has got solid control over the glass, and we see making the most of the advantage against a weaker Wizards squad.

These legs are correlated considering if the Pistons players take control of the game right from the beginning, they will end up with more scoring opportunities. This way, they will end up with more volume. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
