The Pistons are coming off of a convincing, 21-point win over the Hawks so another victory tonight against the shorthanded Wizards should be very attainable. If they're able to win, it would be Detroit's first 'W' against the Wizards this season.
How To Watch
The Wizards are currently 30-42, good for just 12th in the East and just two spots ahead of Detroit. Kyle Kuzma has found himself a bit in D.C., but he's out tonight as is key backup big man Daniel Gafford. Kristaps Porzingis, however, is healthy and could be a handful for the undersized Pistons. Still, Detroit has a great chance to get its first win against Washington this year.
Injury Report
The Pistons are just about back to full strength as Frank Jackson returns to the lineup. Dwane Casey talks about Jackson a lot in the video above and specifically points out his shooting and activity on defense as the main things that make him valuable to the backup line. Hamidou Diallo remains out with a finger fracture and Isaiah Livers, who had been giving Detroit good minutes in recent games, is out with a concussion.
Probable Starters
Marvin Bagley III has been solid for Detroit off the bench and that's where he'll be tonight as the "regular" starting five is all ready to roll in the D.
