The Detroit Pistons and the Charlotte Hornets duke it out at the Spectrum Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Detroit Pistons vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction. This article will include a Detroit Pistons vs Charlotte Hornets Pick.
Detroit PistonsÂ
The Detroit Pistons have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their last five games overall, but they will be looking to bounce back in this one after having their two-game win streak snapped by the Bulls in a 122-112 home loss on Monday. Cade Cunningham led the team with 26 points and 10 assists, Malik Beasley added 21 points off the bench, while Tobias Harris chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Pistons shot just 42 percent from the field and 15 of 44 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the hot start of the Bulls in the first quarter and quickly found themselves trailing by 13 points and they just couldn’t make any ground with the Bulls connecting on 23 of 46 from the 3-point line. The Pistons will meet the Magic and Raptors after this game.
Charlotte HornetsÂ
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after falling short to the Nets in a 116-115 road defeat on Tuesday. Brandon Miller led the team with 29 points, four assists, and three steals, Miles Bridges added 21 points on eight of 14 shooting while Tre Mann chipped in with 19 points and six assists off the bench. As a team, the Hornets shot 46 percent from the field and a sizzling 20 of 37 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 37 points in the first quarter to take an early 17-point lead, but they gave back the lead and just couldn’t make the stops down the stretch to eventually lose by just one point.Â

Detroit Pistons vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Pistons are still shorthanded with Ausar Thompson listed as doubtful, while the Hornets don’t have a single player listed on the injury report. The Pistons were quietly playing some decent basketball before they got stopped in their tracks by the Bulls in an upset on Monday, but they will like their chances of bouncing back against a struggling Hornets team coming off another tough loss. The line is set at a pick ’em for this one, so I am definitely seeing some value with the Pistons who have clearly been the team in better form overall. This is probably a game I’d rather stay away from, but with the line so short, I like the Pistons to get the win on the road.
