Pistons Visit Wizards for Second Straight Game

The Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards meet for the second consecutive game on November 12, with Detroit seeking another win after holding on for a 121-111 victory in their last matchup. The Pistons have won seven of their first 10 games; Washington is 4-7 and comes in after a 114-101 loss to Indiana the previous night.

Anthony Davis led the Wizards against Detroit with 44 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 16-for-21. His availability is uncertain for the rematch because of the back-to-back schedule. AJ Dybansta added 21 points and eight rebounds, while Trae Young had 20 points and seven assists.

John Collins paced Detroit with 24 points and 10 rebounds in the previous game, and Daniss Jenkins scored 22. Jenkins had also put up 31 points against the Lakers. Kevin Huerter, who scored 12 against Washington after a 24-point game against Los Angeles, has contributed off the bench. Detroit is moving Collins to center as it looks to play smaller and faster.

Jalen Duren and Isaiah Joe are listed out for the Pistons. The expected Detroit starters are Cade Cunningham, Jenkins, Ausar Thompson, Duncan Robinson and Collins. Washington’s projected lineup is Young, Kyshawn George, Dybansta, Davis and Alex Sarr.

The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Capital One Arena and will air on MNMT and NBA League Pass. The Wizards’ loss to Indiana gives Detroit a rest advantage, while Davis’s status could affect Washington’s chances.
