Advice and prediction

Charlotte literally limped into the All-Star break despite finishing off a tough West Coast road trip with a 3-3 record. They were playing great basketball and now have everyone healthy again.

They come up against a Pistons side on the other side of the wheel. Detroit cut ties fully with Blake Griffin during the All-Star break, though he hadn’t played in weeks. Still, they sit at 10-26, the second-worst record in the league, heading into the second half of the season.

Take Charlotte -4.5 and hope the Hornets continue their hot streak on the other side of the break.

Prediction: Hornets 114, Pistons 101
