DETROIT, Mich. — The Detroit Pistons get a second look at the Washington Wizards in four days when the two teams meet Thursday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. Eastern at Capital One Arena in Washington.

Detroit comes in at 7-3, good for third place in the Eastern Conference. Washington is 4-8, 12th in the East, and has lost five games in a row.

The Pistons handled the Wizards 122-111 at home on Monday night even though Anthony Davis poured in a season-best 44 points for Washington. Detroit has been off since then, while the Wizards are playing on back-to-back nights after a 114-101 loss at Indiana on Wednesday that capped a four-game trip.

Davis leads Washington at 25.7 points and 9.7 rebounds a game. Trae Young adds 18.5 points and 8.7 assists, and third-year forward Kyshawn George is putting up 17.9 points a night.

Detroit will again be without center Jalen Duren, who is out with a hamstring injury, and guard Isaiah Joe, who has a hip problem. Ugonna Onyenso is a game-time call with a foot injury. Washington is missing four players, including Jamir Watkins, who is done for the season.

Last season the Pistons went 60-22 and scored 117.8 points a game, while the Wizards finished 17-65.
