What to watch for in Peacock’s Wizards vs. Pistons game on Monday, November 10 

Still in rebuilding mode with a gaggle of gifted but young future stars, the Wizards notched just one early win this season before going on a consecutive-game losing skid. Talent abounds in Washington thanks to a roster stacked with players like 2024 No. 2 NBA draft pick Alex Sarr and recent lottery addition Tre Johnson, but so far this season, it hasn’t exactly translated into wins.

Detroit, meanwhile, is off to a much stronger start as an early contender for the top spot in the Eastern Conference’s Central Division. Point guard Cade Cunningham leads the Pistons as Detroit reloads for another run at the NBA Playoffs — which should at least feel like ambitiously familiar territory following last season’s first-round tap-out against the New York Knicks. For their part, the Wizards haven’t tasted the playoffs since the 2020-2021 season… and given Washington’s current rocky start, a win on the road against a solid Detroit squad could kick off the new NBA week with a minor early-season upset.
