How To Watch, Game Notes, Quick Facts, Injury Report: Detroit Pistons at Washington Wizards

The Pistons have a shot to snap their losing streak against the Washington Wizards tonight.

How To Watch

At 25-30, the Wizards are just four spots ahead of the Pistons in the Eastern Conference and are currently on the outside looking in when it comes to postseason play. The Wizards were active before the trade deadline and now have Kristaps Porzingis on the roster, but he's out hurt. Bradley Beal is also out for the season, which has made it tough for the Wizards all season. Kyle Kuzma has been playing some pretty solid basketball and recently recorded a triple-double. 

Probable Starters

As you can see, Cade Cunningham is back on the probable starter list and should be good to go moving forward. tonight as he's still recovering from a hip pointer. Marvin Bagley III is available to play tonight but is not listed as a probably starter. That could change moving forward but not yet.

Injury Report

Newly acquired Marvin Bagley III is off the injury report and expected to play tonight in D.C. Of the regular contributors, only Frank Jackson is out tonight.

Game Notes

Hamidou Diallo is averaging 1.2 steals per game and routinely shakes things up on defense whether he's starting or coming off the bench. Against the Hornets, Diallo's defensive efforts led to one of the best in-game dunks of the NBA season.

That is a testament to his positioning and also to his athleticism and activity. He brought a lot of hustle and energy to the floor as he filled in for Jerami Grant. Detroit's fourth-place rank in bench scoring is also impressive and should actually improve as Kelly Olynyk continues to get up to full strength.
