Expert picks & predictions for Thursday’s Wizards vs. Pistons game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pistons to cover:
“Detroit just beat and covered against Washington on Tuesday and the spread went from -14 and remains -14 at some spots with -15 popping up. It’s hard to argue why not to back Detroit outside of the trend of taking the loser and non-cover team in the first of a back-to-back set, but Washington could be an exception to that. It’s Pistons or pass once again as the Wizards continue this road trip”
