This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Pistons/Wizards.

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games to open the season, but I'm exepcting more of a defensive affair here on Tuesday night.

The Pistons are 1-2 and the Wizards are 2-1.

Detroit's actually seen the total go OVER the number in all three of its games this year. It's off the 124-115 loss at Indiana. Note though that the Pistons have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

Washington opened with two straight victories, beating the Pacers 114-107 and then the Bulls 102-100. Both of those games went UNDER the number. Then they lost to Cleveland by a score of 117-107 in OT in their last outing.

Washington's defense is underrated here by the bookmakers in the early going.

Look for a competitive game here between these two young teams, but one that falls UNDER the number once it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
