Washington looks to get back in the winning column against another team, likely to be lottery bound.

The Washington Wizards are hosting the Detroit Pistons Sunday night. Here’s the preview.

Game Info

When: Sunday, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. EST

Where: Capital One Arena

How to watch: Monumental Sports Network, NBA League Pass (if out of market)

Injuries

Wizards — Malcolm Brogdon (thumb) and Saddiq Bey (knee) are both OUT.

Pistons — Ausar Thompson (illness), Bobi Klintman (calf), Simone Fontecchio (toe) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (head) are all game-time decisions.

Game notes

  • The Pistons are a much-improved squad from the one that lost 28 straight games last season. They’re already almost halfway to their win total from 2023-24.
  • The Wizards have lost seven straight games and have yet to win one against a team other than the Atlanta Hawks.
  • Bilal Coulibaly is having a fantastic start to the season, although he’s been somewhat less effective since Kyle Kuzma returned. Expect some bounce back games from him.
