The Wizards bring a nine-game losing streak into this one after falling against Atlanta on Saturday. As always, the defense was horrible, as Washington gave up 136 points. They're last in defensive rating, so it's nothing new. Washington has the NBA's second-worst defensive rebounding percentage. Washington's opponents take 36.1% (22nd) of their shots at the rim and hit 67.7% (29th) of them. The Wizards are 24th at forcing midrange misses and 19th on three-pointers. Only one team allows more points per game. They've been worse over the past six games, allowing 129.3 every night, so watch out for that in Monday's matchup.

At 23rd in offensive rating, Washington's offense isn't good enough to bail out the defense often. Saturday was an off night, even for the Wizards, with Jared Butler's 13 points leading the team. They only mustered 108 points despite a fast-paced contest against a w eak Hawks defense. Typically, Washington succeeds through a 66.5% (3rd) shooting clip at the rim. That accounts for 37.3% of their shots. The Wizards are also solid at avoiding turnovers. Otherwise, they don't get to the free throw line often, are the NBA's worst offensive rebounding club, and struggle to hit threes. Will their fortunes change in Detroit?

Injuries: Jordan Poole (questionable); Delon Wright (out)
