Game Preview
On November 27, the Detroit Pistons (2-14) host the Washington Wizards (2-14) at Little Caesars Arena.
The Washington Wizards are hoping to avoid their 10th consecutive defeat after being dominated by the Hawks in a 136-108 loss in their last game. The Wizards have been struggling, having won only 2 of their first 16 games of the season. With 13 points and 5 assists in his five minutes off the bench, Jared Butler led the club in scoring.With the second-to-last defensive rating (121.0) and the lowest points surrendered (125.1 points per game), the Wizards have the weakest defense in the league. In addition to being lowest in rebounding, Washington’s field goal percentage defense is an NBA record at 50.3%. Jordan Poole, who missed their most recent loss to the Hawks, is also listed as questionable to play, thus the squad might be without him.
The Pistons’ recent bad run got even worse on Friday following their 13th consecutive defeat. They ultimately found themselves on the losing end of an agonizing 136-113 hammering by Indiana. With less than nine minutes remaining in the game, Detroit was actually ahead, but the Pacers embarked on a 32-7 run to win it. The Pistons scored 37 points during the 2nd quarter and took the advantage into halftime, shooting 47% from the field and making seven of 18 from three. However, they were thoroughly outclassed by 39 points to 17 in the fourth quarter, ultimately losing by a large margin. However, Jalen Duren’s return has strengthened the Pistons defense and being the team’s top rebounder, he ought to assist them in getting their defense in shape. They force the third-fewest turnovers and give up the most free throw attempts per game, which is where their problems begin. Advantages include allowing the second-lowest percentage of three-pointers (33.2%) and limiting opponents to 56.5% (3rd) of their shots near the rim.
