Pick 'n' roll: Wednesday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oddsmakers have yet to post a line for the Pistons-Nuggets matchup. Pick should be considered an early lean.

Washington Wizards at New Jersey Nets (-5, 204)

Two of the Eastern Conference’s cellar dwellers square off Wednesday. Both squads have lost five of six games entering a contest that wraps up a six-game road trip for the Wizards.

Washington has the second-worst record in the conference and has a 4-18 road mark. New Jersey has the third-worst record in the conference. The Nets are 5-17 at home as they wrap up a three-game homestand.

Point guard John Wall has played solidly since the All-Star break but has been turnover-prone over the last two games. Wall has committed 21 turnovers in three games after having just three over the previous three outings.

Wall is averaging 20.0 points and 8.8 assists in 11 games since the break but is now adjusting to new teammates after the trading deadline deals that sent Nick Young and JaVale McGee packing.

New Jersey forward Gerald Wallace was terrific in his second game with New Jersey. Wallace had 27 points and 12 rebounds in Monday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and provided a spark on both ends of the floor.

However, the Nets have still dropped three in a row both straight up and against the spread, while Washington has covered in three of its last four.

Pick: Wizards


Detroit Pistons at Denver Nuggets (N/A)

The Denver Nuggets will be without forward Danilo Gallinari when they complete a nine-game homestand against the Detroit Pistons. Gallinari fractured his left thumb in Monday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks and could be sidelined a few weeks.

The timing hurts in that Gallinari recently returned from an ankle injury. Detroit is in the midst of a tough stretch in which nine of 10 games are on the road. The Pistons are 1-3 through the first four contests.

Detroit hasn’t played since Sunday and that gave hot-scoring guard Rodney Stuckey time to recover from the left big toe ailment that sabotaged his performance in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Stuckey injured the toe in Friday’s game against the Phoenix Suns and had just seven points on 1-for-8 shooting against Los Angeles. He had averaged 25.1 points over the previous eight outings.

The Pistons are a much-better offensive team when Stuckey is thriving and able to use his driving ability to score or make trips to the free-throw line.

Pick: Pistons
