Washington’s most recent game/loss was by the score of 114-75 at Oklahoma City on Saturday. The 75 points was the lowest scoring output by an NBA team this season. The Thunder led 57-36 at halftime and 90-59 after three quarters as Washington shot just 29.6% overall and 7-for-43 from three-point range. Rookie AJ Dybantsa was one of the few bright spots with 19 points, while Alex Sarr recorded 15 points and 14 rebounds. Trae Young struggled badly, finishing with four points on 1-of-6 shooting, and Anthony Davis missed his second consecutive game because of an ankle injury.
Detroit’s most recent game/loss was competitive but a loss nonetheless last night to the Lakers, 121-116. The Pistons found themselves in a massive early hole, trailing 38-14 after the opening quarter and by as many as 26, before rallying all the way to within one point late in the third quarter. Daniss Jenkins erupted for a career-high 31 points, including eight three-pointers, and Kevin Huerter supplied 24 points off the bench, but Austin Reaves answered with 43 for Los Angeles and hit a difficult three in the final minute to help put Detroit away. The Pistons’ centerpiece remains Cade Cunningham, who had 14 points and eight assists against the Lakers. The Pistons were without Jalen Duren last night and will be without their star center again tonight.
The teams most recently met late last season on March 19, 2026, when Detroit rolled to a 117-95 victory in Washington. With the win, the Pistons took three of four in the season series against the Wizards.
