The Pistons are coming into this game with a 14-45 record overall and they are 5-25 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. Their last loss was against the Washington Wizards while their 2 wins since then have come against the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last game. They still have a game against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Sunday night. In their game against the Cavaliers, Hamidou Diallo off the bench led the team in points in that game with 21 while Cade Cunningham was next on the team with 17 points. Cunningham led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Isaiah Stewart led the team in rebounds with 8. They were 40.7% from the field, 32.4% from 3-point range, and 89.3% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 102.6 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 112.4 PPG against them. The Pistons have an ATS record of 28-31 this season and their O/U record is 29-28-2.

 

 

The Hornets are coming into this game with a 30-31 record overall and they are 15-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 3 game losing streak that they were on. Their 3 losses in that span were against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Miami Heat while their win came against the Toronto Raptors in their last game. Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre Jr. off the bench both led the team in points in that game with 23 while Montrezl Harrell was next on the team with 20 points. Rozier led the team in assists in that game with 9 while Miles Bridges and Mason Plumlee both led the team in rebounds with 10 each. They were 55.3% from the field, 37.5% from 3-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 114 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 114.4 PPG against them. The Hornets have an ATS record of 33-26-2 this season and their O/U record is 29-31-1.

 

 

The Pistons are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak but they have only been winning their games by a few points in that span. They had lost 8 straight games prior to those wins and they have been having a very bad season as they are one of the worst teams in the NBA. They are going up against a Hornets team that has also been playing very poorly in their recent games but they are coming off of a win at home in their last game by more than 30 points and they have really used the recent break to regroup their team well. They should be able to build off of that win and get another here against a Pistons team that has been very bad this season and is one of the worst teams in the NBA. The Pistons have managed to put 2 wins together but it is not going to last long for them with the way they have played this season and the Hornets will snap their streak here.This is a tough building to play in and the Hornets should be able to get another win here by double digits again.
