It is difficult for Charlotte to count on stable performances, especially in the current conditions. A large number of injuries and personnel problems directly affect the team play. As a result, the Hornets are rightly considered the underdogs of the upcoming match.
Detroit, on the other hand, is in good shape. The team has strengthened its position in the standings and is ready to continue moving up. The game at home creates an additional advantage for the Pistons, who are determined to beat a weakened opponent. In our opinion, Detroit will confidently take advantage of its advantages and continue its winning streak.
Our prediction is a Detroit victory with a handicap of (-4.5) points at 1.72
Bet on total
Charlotte attack has been weak lately. The team is going through a crisis, which limits its attacking capabilities. Detroit will play pragmatically, focusing on the result. We expect the match to be low-scoring, so we offer a bet on the total under.
Forecast - total under 219.5 points for 1.67
Bet on statistics
Without their leaders, the Hornets do not look like a dangerous attacking force. The team needs to get out of the crisis and return key players to establish interactions in defense and attack. We believe that Charlotte will not be able to break its individual total in this match.
Prediction - Charlotte individual total under 105.5 points for 1.87
