Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons prediction
The Detroit Pistons are better than their record indicates as they compete and play hard, and a bounce here or there and the Pistons are sitting with a better record. With that said, the Pistons have 10 wins no matter how you slice it, and they’re 5-26 SU at home. With a win percent of 15.3 percent, excuse me if I’m not excited to lay points with the Pistons. Yes, the Charlotte Hornets are awful in their own right, but we’re getting points with that awful team. I’m not touching this game personally but give me the Hornets and the free buckets if forced to pick.
