Key Storylines
- The Pistons are off to a blazing start at 8‑2 and have started the season with a 3-1 record at home. Their defense allows approximately 110.5 points per game, the second-best mark in the Eastern Conference this season.
- The Wizards are 1‑9 and still searching for positives of any kind. They concede north of 128 points per game and need to tighten things up on that end of the floor if they want to be a more competitive team going forward.
- Washington is without Bilal Coulibaly (leg), but should have veteran Khris Middleton back in the lineup.
- Detroit is without Jaden Ivey, Marcus Sasser, and Tobias Harris. Isaiah Stewart is also questionable to take part in this game.
- The Wizards have lost eight games in a row after a 1-1 start to the season. They will try to avoid a ninth loss in a row here, but oddsmakers clearly don’t given them much of a chance to do so.

Final Thoughts
The Pistons should be able to roll on their home floor against the Wizards on Monday night. Washington is just dismal on the defensive end of the floor and they should struggle to get stops against a Detroit team that is putting things together nicely despite some early-season injuries. I’ll lay the points with Detroit, as they should continue to be the class of the Eastern Conference with another victory.
