Wizards vs. Pistons Odds & Betting Predictions - March 11, 2025

The Huddle got it first The Pistons face off against the Washington Wizards who suddenly are in a competitive race for the worst record in the NBA. Ausar has struggled the last two games getting into foul trouble rapidly and played 17 and 20 minutes as opposed to minutes in the mid 20s. The Pistons are significant favorites and when they win big, Ausar gets a bit more burn. When they win by double digits, Ausar has played at least 22 minutes (avg 24) in 12 straight games. He’s averaged 20.7 PRA and exceeded this mark in 9/13 games. I expect Detroit to take care of business against a Wizards team that’s focused on player development - and Ausar will have plenty of opportunities to fill up the stat sheet.

Detroit’s offense should dominate – 114.7 PPG, 47.6% FG, 35.8% 3P. Cade Cunningham is in control, averaging 28 PPG over the last two. Jalen Duren will dominate inside against a weak Wizards interior. Washington’s defense is a disaster – 120.5 PPG allowed (30th), 47.1% FG (28th), and last in defensive rating. Wizards are on a back-to-back and missing key players – Coulibaly and Middleton both GTD. Their road struggles are glaring – just 6-24 away, scoring 106.1 PPG on 43.2% FG (29th). They turn it over 15.2 times per game (27th), fueling Detroit’s transition game (9.2 steals per game, 6th in NBA). Detroit has a strong assist-to-turnover ratio (1.79), creating efficient offense. Detroit covers big numbers – 9-2-1 ATS last 12 games. They’re 17-14 at home and hold opponents to 112.8 PPG at Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons crushed Washington 124-104 in their last meeting, winning the rebounding battle 51-39. Wizards are tanking, Detroit is pushing for playoffs – expect a dominant win.
