Pistons at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 114, Hornets 110

Moneyline

BET PISTONS (-115).

The Pistons are a more efficient offense. With both teams being dependent on their guard play, the Pistons top 2 scoring options shoot over 44% from the field while the top 3 options for Charlotte fail to hit that mark.

Charlotte has lost 4 of its last 5 games and 7 of its last 10 as well. The Pistons, who have won 2 of their last 3, are coming off a loss and have won their last 5 games following a defeat.

Considering those trends, BACK PISTONS (-115).

Against the spread

PASS.

Considering the Hornets just lost, yet covered as a 1.5-point underdog Tuesday, avoid a spread play and take the straight-up moneyline option regardless.

Over/Under

BET OVER 220.5 (-110).

With Bridges back and healthy, the Hornets have found their rhythm offensively, scoring at least 114 in 3 straight games. They are 3-0 O/U in those, having allowed at least 114 points in 4 straight.

Detroit is 3-4 O/U in its last 7 games and has allowed at least 120 points in 3 of its last 5. It has eclipsed 110 points in 4 of its last 5. With those trends in mind, TAKE OVER 220.5 (-110).

Pistons at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Hornets 115, Pistons 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hornets have far more consistent talent and should cover at home here. However, at -165, pass on the home favorite on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS -3.5 (-115).

The Hornets are 1-0 at home and won as an underdog. In its opener, Charlotte was more explosive on both ends, holding Atlanta to just 17% from deep.

Charlotte got 13 points and 15 rebounds from 2nd-year C Mark Williams. His ascension should help aid the Hornets’ interior defense and should provide ample support against a Detroit team that likes playing a big starting lineup.

The Pistons shot just 34% from deep and 60% from the free-throw line against the Heat, and they could again struggle on the road with a young, inexperienced team. The Pistons were 17-21-3 ATS as a road underdog last season.

The Hornets were more impressive and covered at home to open the season. Expect them to repeat that so take HORNETS -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-110).

Neither team was overly impressive from deep or from the charity stripe Wednesday. The Hornets shot 30% from deep and 73% from the line on 37 and 26 attempts respectively.

Neither team can light it up from deep, and both teams went Under in their 1st game. Expect an inefficient game with plenty of lengthy, interior presence around the rim. Take UNDER 225.5 (-110).

Pistons at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Hornets 115, Pistons 111

Moneyline

The HORNETS (-140) are moderate favorites, and they’re the play here in a battle of 2 teams that are nearly identical. We should have a very close battle in Buzz City.

The difference here might be Charlotte’s ability to defend the 3-pointer, as it is holding the opposition to just 34.8% from behind the arc, 11th in the NBA.

In true identical fashion, while Detroit struggles shooting the triple, it is also rather solid at 34.9% at defending them to rank 13th in The Association.

Against the spread

The HORNETS -2.5 (-115) are worth playing, as someone has to win and cover in this battle of 7-win teams.

The Hornets are 4-1-1 ATS in the past 6 games following a non-cover, while going 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 games after a straight-up loss.

In addition, while the Pistons have been decent on the road lately, they’re just 4-12 ATS in the past 16 meetings, while going 4-10 ATS in the past 14 trips to the Queen City.

Over/Under

OVER 225.5 (-115) is the lean here.

The Under is 4-0 in the past 4 games on the road for the Pistons, but the Over is 9-3 in the past 12 on the road against teams with a losing home record.

The Over has hit in 5 of the past 7 games overall for the Hornets while going an impressive 9-1 to the Over in the previous 10 when playing on 2 days of rest. The Over is also 4-0 in the past 4 for Charlotte after a non-cover.
