On addition, Dante Exum (trade) and Anthony Davis (trade) are out. Jaden Hardy and D\u2019Angelo Russell are day-to-day due to various injuries but are also affected by being traded to the Wizards earlier today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the Pistons, Dario Saric and Tolu Smith are out.

Given today\u2019s big trade where Anthony Davis is now coming to DC, there won\u2019t be a full roster tomorrow in all likelihood. Hopefully, the game remains competitive however!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards play the Detroit Pistons tomorrow night. Let\u2019s preview this one.
