What you need to know about the Pistons

Detroit had lost six of its last seven games prior to picking up a 122-101 win over Atlanta on Wednesday night. The Pistons were five-point underdogs in that game, but they took the lead halfway through the second quarter and never trailed again. They knocked down 22 of 25 from the charity stripe and held a 61-43 advantage on the boards. 

Power forward Jerami Grant leads Detroit with 19.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Rookie shooting guard Cade Cunningham is adding 17.1 points and 5.8 rebounds, while small forward Saddiq Bey is chipping in 16.4 points. The Pistons have been undervalued in the betting market, going 9-1-1 in their last 11 games against the spread. Hamidou Diallo (finger) is out for Detroit tonight.

What you need to know about the Wizards

Washington has lost eight of its last nine games following a 114-102 setback at Milwaukee on Thursday. It fell behind Milwaukee 32-13 at the end of the first quarter and was unable to recover. The Wizards cannot afford another loss on Friday, as they are 5.5 games back of Atlanta for the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference with 10 games remaining.

Forward Kyle Kuzma, who averages 17.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, has missed the last three games due to knee tendinitis and is questionable for this contest. Washington is already playing without leading scorer Bradley Beal, who is out for the remainder of the season with a wrist injury. The Wizards have won six of their last seven games against Detroit and can complete the season sweep on Friday.
