While only the Pistons took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Going forward, the Hornets are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they’ve let bettors down the last five times they’ve played.
The Pistons strolled past the Hornets when the teams last played back in March by a score of 114-97. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Pistons since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
