Pistons vs Wizards Prediction, Odds & Game Preview 3/13/2025

The Detroit Pistons, riding high on their recent surge with 12 wins in their last 15 games, welcome the Washington Wizards back to Little Caesars Arena for their second matchup in three days.

Cade Cunningham's masterful 27-point near triple-double on Tuesday highlighted Detroit's growing confidence, while the Wizards' shooting woes - hitting just 40% from the field in their last outing - have left them searching for answers.

The home team Pistons, who dominated their last meeting with a 25-point lead at one point, face off against an away team Wizards squad still missing key pieces Bilal Coulibaly and Malcolm Brogdon.

Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards preview

The red-hot Detroit Pistons are looking to keep their impressive momentum rolling as they host the struggling Washington Wizards for the second time this week at Little Caesars Arena.

Fresh off Tuesday's dominant 123-103 victory over these same Wizards, the Pistons have been on an absolute tear, winning 12 of their last 15 games behind Cade Cunningham's stellar play.

Cunningham's been a nightmare for opponents lately - just ask the Wizards, who had no answer for his 27-point triple-double threat performance on Tuesday night.

The Wizards showed brief signs of life last week by splitting their previous eight games, but they've hit another rough patch with Marcus Smart's 16-point effort off the bench being their lone bright spot in Tuesday's loss.

While history suggests it's tough to beat the same team twice in a row, the Pistons' frontcourt duo of Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris has been giving opponents fits, with Duren coming off a solid 15-point, 13-rebound showing.

The Wizards' offense has looked completely out of sync, shooting a dismal 40% from the field in their last outing, and they'll need to find answers quickly with both Malcolm Brogdon and Bilal Coulibaly still sidelined.

This Central Division clash marks another chance for Detroit to cement their surprising playoff push, while Washington looks to avoid their third straight defeat and snap their 10-game road losing streak against winning teams in this division.

Keep an eye on the paint battle, where Duren's presence has been transformative for Detroit's defense, which has quietly become one of the more formidable units in the Eastern Conference.
