• The line for this game is Washington by 1 point.

• The Detroit Pistons are starting to jell around some younger players and have a chance to sweep a three-game road trip. The Pistons, who took out Boston and Atlanta on the first two stops, will try to polish off the sweep when they visit the Washington Wizards on Monday. Detroit dropped three straight and 12 of 15 before hitting the road and getting standout performances from rookie forward Sekou Doumbouya and second-year guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk in the two wins. “It’s a lot of fun,” veteran forward Markieff Morris told reporters after the Pistons set a season scoring high in a 136-103 win at the Hawks on Saturday. “We had a rough start to the season. To win two games back to back is a big lift for us. Everybody’s enjoying their time on the court playing together.”

• The Wizards are struggling of late with losses in three straight and finished off a two-game road trip with a 140-111 loss at Toronto on Friday. “That’s a physical ball team,” Washington coach Scott Brooks told reporters. “That’s a team that has a lot of length, a lot of strength, and they got into us. We started the game off with turnovers and a lot of them were uncharacteristic ones, but some of them were because they are a good defensive team. They’re an experienced team, they are long, they are tough, and they were clicking. We played a championship team tonight that was clicking on all cylinders and when that happens everything seems to fall.”

• Doumbouya scored a team-high 24 points in Wednesday’s win at Boston and Mykhailiuk followed a season-high 21 against the Celtics with another season high, scoring 25 points on 9-of-11 shooting in 29 minutes off the bench on Saturday. Veteran point guard Derrick Rose is providing a steady hand for the young group and collected 27 points on 12-of-17 shooting and nine assists against the Hawks. “The floor is open,” Rose told reporters. “They’re going under screens. They go under, that’s a lot of space on the floor. I can beat you to a spot, turn the corner, so it’s no pressure at all. I’m in the lane and I’ve got shooters out there, so my job is to push it up, be aggressive and dish it whenever I see an opening.”

• All-Star guard Bradley Beal is still working his way into shape after a leg injury and was limited to 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting in Friday’s setback and committed three of the team’s season-high 28 turnovers. “We just weren’t strong with it,” Beal told reporters of the turnovers. “I think a lot of careless ones. I had a couple myself. … We’ve just got to be better at getting open, making ourselves available and just making a simple pass.” Troy Brown Jr. scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting off the bench Friday, bouncing back after going scoreless at Chicago on Wednesday.

• Pistons PG Reggie Jackson (back) has been out since Oct. 24 but is nearing a return.

• Wizards SG Jordan McRae (ankle) left Friday’s game and is day-to-day.

• Washington took the first two meetings this season but dropped a 132-102 decision at Detroit in the most recent matchup on Dec. 26.
