The 2-5 Pistons will travel to the nation's capital to take on the 5-2 Wizards on Wednesday. Detroit is win-less on the road, while the Wizards are 2-0 in Washington. I've got my eye on the total here, as the number looks a little high.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Scoring - Only the Knicks have scored fewer points than the Pistons so far this season, as Detroit is averaging just 91.9 points per game. Neither team has reached the century mark, and I don't expect to see either team score 100 points tonight.

2. Defense - The Wizards rank 7th in the NBA allowing an average of 96 points per game. They could improve that average against a Detroit team that is shooting a league worst 41% from the field.

3. X-Factor - The Pistons haven't seen any of their last five trips to Washington result in the total going over the number.

Selection: This is a play on the Pistons@Wizards to go Under the total (8*)
