The Detroit Pistons (10-53) host the Charlotte Hornets (16-48) for a Monday game. Detroit is a team that could win, but it’s highly unlikely, as they only recently achieved double-digit victories on the season. Furthermore, this team is one of four in their last five games. Charlotte earlier this season. Moreover, the Hornets are not in good form themselves, as they have also lost four games out of their last five matchups. But they are coming off a win against the Brooklyn Nets.
Therefore, they hope to make it a streak tonight. But the oddsmakers are saying that Detroit will get their 11th win of the season. However, as we know, anything can happen in the NBA, and this game could be especially hard to protect if you haven’t been following along all season. But with the latest information and staying up-to-date with everything on these two teams, there are a couple of avenues that can be used when it comes to placing bets tonight.
Regardless, do you see the Pistons winning outright tonight?

Key Stats
Detroit Pistons
Detroit hopes to make it three straight victories against the Charlotte Hornets tonight. Although they beat the Hornets twice this year, that unfortunately accounts for 20% of their wins on the season. Also, this team is more likely to be blown out by 20 points than to keep anything competitive, regardless of the level of competition. Additionally, Cade Cunningham is oftentimes a one-man show.
But he found a capable second-scoring option in Simone Fontecchio. Fonteccio was able to pitch in 27 points despite coming off the bench against the Dallas Mavericks. But someone else will need to step up today if they’re going to keep it competitive, and Jaden Ivey could be someone to look for. Ivy had 17 points in that same Dallas Mavericks game and will need to comfortably score double digits if the Pistons are going to have any hopes of beating the Charlotte Hornets tonight.

Game Prediction
This is a clear instance where I believe the line is wrong. Although the Charlotte Hornets have not been good throughout the year overall, there’s more to like about this roster than the Detroit Pistons. However, this should be closer to a pick ’em game, and my prediction here is mostly based on my belief that these two teams are closer than not. Therefore, if you want to play it safe, go with the Hornets covering, but I see greater value elsewhere. While a second Pistons win in nearly consecutive games wouldn’t be shocking tonight, I see it as unlikely.
Therefore, I am not betting against the spread, but I’m taking this Hornets team on the Moneyline. However, the point total is a complete stay away from me, as these rosters are equally bad. Despite where the odds are, either the defense will give up too many easy buckets or the offenses will struggle to simply score. Regardless of what you think of these two rosters, playing on the point total tonight is not a smart move. Therefore, I am only sticking with the Charlotte Hornets winning outright.
