The Hornets are coming into this game with a 28-28 record overall and they are 14-16 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. Their last win was against the Los Angeles Lakers but they have gone on a 6 game losing streak since then with losses coming against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Boston Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, the Toronto Raptors, and the Chicago Bulls in their last game. LaMelo Ball led the team in points in that game with 33 while Miles Bridges was next on the team with 22 points. Terry Rozier led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Mason Plumlee led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 42.6% from the field, 30.2% from 3-point range, and 69.6% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 113.3 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 114.3 PPG against them. The Hornets have an ATS record of 31-25 this season and their O/U record is 26-29-1.

 

 

The Pistons are coming into this game with a 12-42 record overall and they are 8-18 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 9 of their last 10 games and are coming into this one on a 5 game losing streak after another loss in their last game. Their last win was against the Cleveland Cavaliers while their 9 losses in that span came against the Utah Jazz, the Denver Nuggets twice, the Orlando Magic, the New Orleans Pelicans, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Boston Celtics, the T-Wolves again, and the Dallas Mavericks in their last game. They still have a game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night that needs to be played first with that result still pending so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Friday night. Hamidou Diallo led the team in points in that game with 18 while Jerami Grant was next on the team with 15 points. Saddiq Bey led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Isaiah Stewart led the team in rebounds with 15. They were 37.9% from the field, 16.7% from 3-point range, and 68.2% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 102.1 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 111.9 PPG against them. The Pistons have an ATS record of 26-28 this season and their O/U record is 26-27-1.

 

 

The Hornets are coming into this game on a 6 game losing streak and they have lost their last 3 games by double digits. They have lost 5 straight games at home and they have a better record at home this season than on the road. They are going on the road for the first time after 4 straight home games but they are going up against one of the worst teams in the NBA. The Pistons have lost 5 straight games and they only have 1 win in their last 10 games. The Pistons have been getting blown out in a lot of their games this season but they have been pretty good at home recently, relatively speaking. Their last 5 games at home have been within 10 points and they even have a win over a very good Cavaliers team in that span. The Pistons play their best game when they are at home and even though they do not win games often, they have a good opportunity here with a struggling Hornets team that has lost 6 straight and has been getting blown out in their games. The Pistons may not get the win here but they will keep this game close at home with a chance to pull off a massive upset. The Hornets should win in a very tight game.

"We have to keep their legs fresh and their minds fresh. We're not going to go out and shoot 200 more 3s tomorrow (in practice) and it will change this. We just have to believe that once this thing turns we will get back to where we need to be." - James Borrego on his team’s loss against the Bulls on Wednesday night.
