The Washington Wizards will host the Detroit Pistons at Capital One Arena on Tuesday. The Wizards (2-1) are no longer perfect following their 117-107 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, but there’s no question Washington has looked better than advertised throughout their opening three contests. During Sunday’s loss, Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 27 points, complementing them with five assists, four rebounds, and two steals. Kristaps Porzingis generated an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double that included three assists, one steal, and one block. Rui Hachimura furnished 16 points, three rebounds, and one assist. Monte Morris totaled 13 points, six assists, and three rebounds. Kyle Kuzma supplied 11 points, three assists, two rebounds, and two blocks. Corey Kispert (ankle) has been ruled out for Washington. The Pistons (1-2) are rebuilding and starting everything from scratch, and while they have some key young players that are supremely talented, they’re also very young and prone to make mistakes. In fact, that’s what prevented them from winning Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, a game in which they ended up losing by a 124-115 score. Cade Cunningham was the leading scorer for the Pistons with 22 points, while Isaiah Stewart had 11 points and 16 rebounds despite shooting just 2-for-10 from the field. Saddiq Bey ended with 20 points and 11 rebounds, but he also added three assists, and Bojan Bogdanovic notched 16 points and five dimes. Jaden Ivey posted 17 points and 11 rebounds while also adding five assists. Alec Burks (foot) and Marvin Bagley (knee) have both been ruled out for the Pistons.
