It’s a key game for the Charlotte Hornets on Friday as they take on the Detroit Pistons in a key Eastern Conference fixture in the NBA at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. This match between the first-placed Detroit (58-22) and the ninth-placed Charlotte (43-37) comes with our prediction of Detroit +3.5.
The Pistons are at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. They have already clinched home court advantage for the conference play-offs and will play the No. 8 seed from the play-in tournament. Charlotte are ninth, and a win could boost their playoff chances.
Despite losing 113-102 to Boston on the road in their latest game, Charlotte had previously secured four consecutive wins. Two of those victories have come at home, and the Hornets will look to maintain that momentum.
Over their last 12 games, the Hornets have won nine and lost three. Even at home, they have seven wins out of the last nine and look good to push the top seeds.
Detroit won 137-111 at home against the Milwaukee Bucks last time out. That was their fourth win out of the last five games, the lone defeat coming on the road against Orlando Magic.
The Pistons have in fact lost two of their last three road games, although one of those defeats at the Oklahoma City Thunder came in overtime.
