Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Charlotte Hornets I guess are getting the edge because they’re at home, but I’m not laying chalk with a team that’s lost 7 of their last 10 games. The Detroit Pistons have simply been the better team this season, and are also 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games. The Pistons also took the Hornets down to the wire a couple of weeks ago, losing by one point. This is simply a matter of getting a free bucket with the better team. I’ll take it. Give me the Pistons.
