The much improved Washington Wizards, led by the scorching hot Bradley Beal (averaging 20.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in his last six games) take on the Detroit Pistons for the fourth and final time this year. The Pistons have defeated the Wizards the last five outings so tonight’s match-up should be a spirited affair.
