Anthony Davis arrived in Detroit listed as questionable with a sprained ankle after missing two games. He played 34 minutes and made 16 of 21 shots, finishing with 44 points and 13 rebounds. It still wasn't enough. The Pistons beat Washington 122-111 at home, and the Wizards' best night of individual work produced another loss.

Washington led 32-31 after one quarter, and that was the last time it held the lead. Detroit outscored the Wizards 37-26 in the second to go up 68-58 at the break, then added a 35-29 third for a 103-87 cushion. Washington won the fourth 24-19 and trimmed the final gap to 11, but never made it a late scare.

John Collins led Detroit with 24 points and 10 rebounds on 9-of-13 shooting, a double-double in 28 minutes. Daniss Jenkins added 22 points and 8 assists, and Duncan Robinson hit 4 of 8 threes on his way to 22. Cade Cunningham scored 17 with 7 assists. The Pistons shot well enough that their defense barely had to carry them.

Beyond Davis, Washington got 21 points and 8 rebounds from AJ Dybantsa and 20 points and 7 assists from Trae Young, who played a game-high 38 minutes but shot 6 of 17. Tre Johnson went 1 of 8, missing all six of his threes. The Wizards were playing the fifth road game of their first six in November, and the weight of that stretch showed.
