The Little Caesars Arena will be lit on Sunday as Eastern Conference leaders Detroit Pistons host 12th-placed Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. The Pistons will look to bounce back against the Hornets after their shocking defeat to the Dallas Mavericks. Here is our prediction.
Detroit Pistons' four-game winning run came to an end in a bruising overtime battle against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. After a 110-110 draw, they fell 116-114 to the Mavericks. Nevertheless, the five-time champions remain clear of the mark in the Eastern Conference, sitting top of the rankings with an impressive 21-6 record.
They have posted a 6-2 record in their last eight games. This includes a remarkable four-game winning run at the Little Caesars Arena. JB Bickerstaff's men have also defeated the Charlotte Hornets in both of their NBA meetings in 2025.
The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Atlanta Hawks 133-126 to secure their second back-to-back wins of the season and third victory on the road. However, their trip to Detroit is overshadowed by a poor 3-10 away record this season. They also lost their last four away games against the Detroit Pistons.
