Here is what our experts are saying for their Hornets vs. Pistons predictions. Charlotte is coming off an impressive win against the Knicks. The Hornets went into Madison Square Garden on Tuesday and snapped the Knicks’ nine-game winning streak with a 112-105 win. Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 27 points, Terry Rozier scored 25 and Gordon Hayward had 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to snap a three-game losing streak.
While the Hornets are the second-worst team in the Eastern Conference ahead of the Pistons, Charlotte isn’t sitting their veterans. Rookie center Mark Williams has been starting since the trade of Mason Plumlee and he has four double-doubles in the last six games.
The Pistons are dealing with a lot of injuries and have lost nine consecutive games. Six of the losses have been by six points or fewer. Hamidou Diallo is likely out for the season, Bojan Bogdanovic might be shut down for the season with an Achilles injury and Killian Hayes, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart have been out with injuries. The Pistons lineup is completely different from the season-opener.
The Pistons have some young players to develop. Rookie Jaden Ivey is shooting 41.8% from the field this season, but has shot 45% or better in two of the last four games and has double-doubles in the last two games. He had 26 points and 12 assists against the Wizards and 13 points and 13 assists against the Blazers. Consider his assist prop in this game. The Pistons traded for James Wiseman from the Warriors and he’s getting the opportunity to play. The second overall pick in the 2020 draft is coming off a season-high 34 minutes and had 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal.
