At 42-37, it has been a good year for the Pistons as they are assured a winning record this year, and they want to do more by getting into the post-season where they will hope to make a huge upset over the higher-seeded teams
They are three games ahead of the Chicago Bulls who are at 39-40 which gives them a distinct advantage of securing their spot in the next round, but they must avoid a big collapse in the following games as they have five games left to play and if they lose them all they may very well drop out.
Chicago need to have a near flawless rest of the year and hope that Detroit stumble in order to make a big turnaround in the series.
On the other hand, the Wizards are fighting even a tougher battle as they are 10th in the East.
While they still have a chance for the playoffs, chances are not in their favour as they are 3.5 games behind the Pistons with only six games remaining in their season.
A perfect record for their remaining games will see them go 42-40 which will only be tied to what the record of Detroit will be if they lose the remaining games.
However, they should still continue battling as they may use this as a catalyst for a better season in the coming years.
Their head-to-head matchup favours Washington who have won their three matchups so far and are looking to complete a sweep over Detroit.
