Hornets vs Pistons Prediction
The Hornets are still without Williams, White, and Knueppel, and it’s starting to show more than ever. The Hornets are averaging 90.6 points during their three-game losing streak. It’s bad, folks. I doubt things are going to improve against this Pistons defensive pressure. The Pistons have also won six straight games against the Hornets and have covered four of those games.
The Hornets need to get healthier to be taken seriously, as this banged up roster is going through it right now and cant score. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Pistons on the road.
