Hornets vs Pistons Prediction
The Pistons are going to be favored because they’ve been the more consistent team this season and have no issues winning on the road. However, we were high on the Hornets from the start of the season, and they’ve won 9 straight games. This is the best stretch of ball the Hornets have played since the great depression. The confidence is oozing from this team, and they’re playing with a pep in their step. The Hornets are 32-21 ATS on the season. I’m not stepping in front of these Hornets, especially when getting in the underdog role. Statement game for the young Hornets. Give me the free bucket.
