The Detroit Pistons aren’t a team you should be looking to back, as they didn’t have talent to begin with an now got rid of Blake Griffin, one of their better scorers. The Pistons lose on the road by an average of 5.9 points. The Charlotte Hornets are a hit or miss team due to their youth, but they should have little trouble in this contest. The Pistons aren’t a good basketball team and I need more points to even consider them. Give me the Hornets.
