Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (-4.5) for Wizards – 2.00.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 215.5 – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Pistons’ Points Under 108.5 – 1.87.
The Washington Wizards have more motivation. The Wizards have every chance to keep fighting. If they don’t beat Detroit, there’s nothing to do in the playoffs. The Wizards have a better roster. We think Unseld’s team will take advantage of that and confidently beat the visitors from Motor City.
The Detroit Pistons’ offensive game has improved considerably recently. The Pistons are now regularly hitting the 100-point mark. With that in mind, we think this is going to be an entertaining battle.
The Pistons have failed to score more than 107.5 points in 3 of their last 5 games.
Despite their latest defeats, the Washington Wizards retain their chances of making the play-offs. So far, Wes Unseld’s men are 11th in the East. They are three wins behind tenth-placed Charlotte, but the Wizards have the same number of games remaining. There’s a theoretical chance of continuing the fight.

It’s worth noting that Detroit failed to make any changes to their roster. Neither Jeremi Grant nor Saddiq Bay left the Motor City. It looks like we’ll see a new team next season.
