Pistons resume homestand with visit from Wizards
Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of Eastern Conference also-rans continue playing out
the string tonight in Auburn Hills, where the Detroit Pistons play host to the
Washington Wizards.
The Pistons fell to 1-1 on a three-game homestand Wednesday, when Deron
Williams paced a balanced attack with 18 points and 12 assists as the Utah Jazz trounced Detroit, 115-104.
Charlie Villanueva paced the Pistons' attack with 19 points and Richard
Hamilton put up 16 in the defeat, Detroit's seventh in eight games. Will Bynum
had 14 points, Jonas Jerebko scored 13 and Tayshaun Prince and Ben Gordon each
had 11.
Jason Maxiell provided 10 points and 11 boards for the Pistons.
"They're outstanding," said Pistons head coach John Kuester of the Jazz.
"Deron Williams is one of the best point guards in the league. There are
certain teams that come with a blue-collar work ethic that you have to come
out with a lunch pail and be ready to go at them."
Pistons star guard Rodney Stuckey missed his second straight game after
collapsing on the bench during a loss in Cleveland on March 5. Extensive
cardiac tests Wednesday provided some good news and Stuckey, who is averaging
a career-best 17.1 points per game, has been allowed to resume exercising.
There is no timetable for his return to the floor, however.
The Wizards, meanwhile, lost their fifth straight game on Thursday, a 105-99
setback to Atlanta in the nation's capital. Jamal Crawford scored a team-high
29 points for the Hawks in that one.
Andray Blatche ended with 30 points and 10 rebounds but had seven of
Washington's 21 turnovers. JaVale McGee and Nick Young posted 20 and 17
points, respectively, in the loss.
"When the other team scores 32 points off turnovers, you really don't give
yourself much of a chance," Washington coach Flip Saunders said. "Turnovers
basically killed us. You can't let a team score 30 or more points off your
offense basically."
The Pistons have won five straight over the Wizards and will be shooting for a
season sweep of the series tonight.
