So we can all agree that the Wizards are an awful team. They're one of the teams that the currently 2-13 Detroit Pistons seem like they can beat and they face them on Monday. But after that, it cannot be understated how tough their schedule will be for the remaining calendar year.

Here is the Pistons upcoming schedule, from today up to December 31st (Technically the 30th is their last game for 2023):

2x Pacers

1x Wizards

1x Lakers

2x 76ers

2x Nets

1x Jazz

1x Cavs

1x Knicks

1x Bucks

1x Hawks

1x Celtics

1x Raptors

With the exception of perhaps the Jazz - who are also in the midst of a rebuild albeit one where they snapped their recent losing streak - that is 14 games which seem difficult to win given they are against playoff teams or teams aiming to make them.

The Detroit Pistons are currently on a 12-game losing streak. They have won less games in the calendar year of 2023 (9) than the city's NFL team, the Lions (10; they went 2-0 in January 2023)

One of the forerunning teams will take them lightly, not play starters, and lose. It's calculated. Why should someone like Giannis put his all out there against a team like the pistons? The risk of injury is way greater than one loss. It doesn't matter. Pistons are a trap, none of the top teams are going to go all out playing them.
