Washington will be more than happy to take this gifted win, as the Wizards sit in 11th place in the East, a half-game behind Chicago for the final play-in tournament spot. Bradley Beal is the only Washington player still around from that club, which still had a prime John Wall. The Detroit Pistons are definitely in that tanking group and essentially throwing in the towel for Tuesday's game at Washington, with nearly every key player expected to sit. Hayes had 10 points and 11 assists and has recorded a double-double in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. 2 overall pick by the Warriors, has three double-doubles in 11 games as a Piston after three total in 60 games with Golden State. Joseph had 22 points, five assists and five rebounds.

The Detroit Pistons upset the Indiana Pacers on Monday, and they have a shot to cover as massive underdogs against Washington on Tuesday night.

Hayes has notched a double-double in each of his past two games.

Washington is in the play-in chase, but they’re far from a good team. With so many important players out of the lineup, it’s opening doors for other guys to really show their stuff. Killian Hayes, the maligned guard who has spent three seasons trying to get his footing with the Pistons, was at his best.

The Pistons visit the Wizards on Tuesday night as we continue our NBA odds series with a Pistons-Wizards prediction, pick, and how to watch.

The Wizards have been hurt by injuries and inconsistent play all season but long they sit in a strong position to cover against arguably the worse team in the league thanks to their two stars. While they may not have the most talented roster, they kept things within two points the last time these teams met and have a great chance to cover as hefty road underdogs tonight. The fifth-overall pick in last year’s draft, Ivey has quietly improved as the season has progressed. Although he is no longer a 30 PPG scorer, Beal’s 23.2 PPG is nothing to be ashamed of. In seven games since the All-Star break, Ivey has averaged 16.9 PPG and 7.0 APG. If Washington is going to cover tonight they are going to need a dominant performance from big man Kristaps Porzingis. That being said, the Pistons have a number of interesting players who could potentially will them to cover tonight. Since the All-Star break, the Pistons have been led by rookie guard Jaden Ivey. The Pistons covered 46% of their games while 52% went over the projected point total. The Wizards covered 48% of their games while 52% went under. With a team that has already been mathematically eliminated from the playoff, the Pistons’ players are still playing for contracts in the off-season. [Detroit Pistons](/nba/detroit-pistons) (16-53) visit the [Washington Wizards](/nba/washington-wizards) (31-37) on Tuesday night!

Hayes had another strong game, but the Pistons were outclassed from the opening tip.

But this high-usage role is not his future; at least not in the NBA. But fatigiue becomes an issue and every time Detroit mounted a run, the Wiz answered. Still wish we’d see more of the centers together, but with so few guys available it’s really impossible right now. The Waiver Wire Bros — Eugene Omoruyi and RJ Hampton — could not carry their successes over in this one. Cory Joseph and Rodney McGruder, the only veterans on the roster, played well against the Wizards. Shorthanded once again and facing the [Washington Wizards](https://www.bulletsforever.com) in DC tonight, the Pistons had a chance to start their first winning streak in lord knows how long.
