Pistons vs. Wizards

The Detroit Pistons are one of the worst teams in the NBA when it comes to winning the tipoff. That will only get worse with Isaiah Stewart’s injury. That gives the Wizards the advantage when scoring the first basket tonight.

Kristaps Porzingis has the best chance to be the first player to score first in this matchup. He averages the most points for the Wizards with 22.8 per game and has the most significant matchup advantage. With the Stewart injury, the Pistons lack someone to defend Porzingis, giving the Latvian big man the most betting value here.

Pick: Kristaps Porzingis (+400)
