A look at the Wizards

Anthony Davis makes this team a formidable opponent in the Eastern Conference. In the last outing, against the Pistons, he dropped 44 points and grabbed16-21 shooting with 13 rebounds.

He has been injured for some time, but when he is healthy and on the floor, he gives this Wizards team a new identity.

AJ Dybansta is developing into an elite scorer already in his rookie season. He scored 21 points on 8-17 shooting along with eight rebounds, and with his size at 6ft 9 he is a matchup problem.

Trae Young is the orchestrator of the offense for the Wizards, and he has done the job all season long. He finished with 20 points and 7 assists on 6-for-17 shooting.

This Wizards squad is a very tall and physical team that loves to feed off energy. Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George are energy players for this team who get the others going.

Piston standouts

John Collins had an outstanding game against the Wizards,s scoring 24 points on 9-for-13 shooting while grabbing 10 rebounds. He knocked down two three-pointers, which is one of the many traits he brings to this offense.

Kevin Huerter has really stepped up the past few games off the bench, scoring 24 against the Lakers, then scoring 12 points against the Wizards.

If Huerter can come in off the bench and knock down shots from the outside along with playing some good defense, he will be a key piece moving forward.

Another standout has been Daniss Jenkins the past few games scoring 31 points against the Lakers, and 22 points against the Wizards.

The other guys besides Cade Cunningham have stepped up in these wins and that is what makes this Pistons team tough to beat.
