Prediction:

The Pistons have made a coaching change this season, with J.B. Bickerstaff taking over, and they’ve also added veteran Harris to strengthen the team. In their last game, the Pistons lost to the Bulls by 10 points. Cade Cunningham led the team with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Jalen Duren contributed 15 points and 22 rebounds.

The Hornets have only made the play-in tournament once in recent seasons, with the rest of the time spent in the lower half of the Eastern Conference standings. Their strength has been limited. This season, the Hornets have also made a coaching change, with Charles Lee taking over. The team welcomed LaMelo Ball back from injury, and second-year player Brandon Miller has been performing well. In their last game, the Hornets lost to the Nets by just 1 point, committing 21 turnovers as a team. Miller scored a team-high 29 points, and Miles Bridges added 21 points.

The Pistons have shown improvements on the defensive end this season and are competitive in the Eastern Conference. With the Hornets struggling defensively, especially at home, I expect the Pistons to take advantage and secure the win.

Pick: Pistons +1 (bet365)
