The Detroit Pistons face a double-digit handicap (-10.5 points) when they take on the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday at Little Caesars Arena.
Current Form:
The Pistons will try to bounce back after the Dallas Mavericks snapped their four-game winning streak, 114-116, in overtime on Thursday. Detroit, the No.1 team in the East with a 21-6 record, will be trying to avert losing twice in a row for the first time this season when they lock horns against a Hornets team that won their last two assignments.
The Hornets have won their last two games and three of their last five to improve to 9-18 in the season. Rookie gunner Kon Knueppel has become a catalyst for the Hornets in this successful stretch, averaging 28.5 points per game in the last two games. Lamelo Ball also made a strong return from an ankle injury as he recorded 28 points and 13 dimes in the win over the Hawks, 133-126.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Charlotte is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games against Detroit and 4-1 in its last five games. They have won their previous two games, and yet they will bring a +10.5-point head start against the Pistons, who are having an impressive season but are only 15-12 against the spread. In fact, the Pistons are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games. Another reason I picked the Hornets to cover is LaMelo Ball's availability for this game. Ball, when healthy, perfectly complements Knueppel, allowing the rookie sniper to better look because he can attract the defence and locate him anywhere on the floor. The Pistons are one of the best defences in the NBA this season, but I guarantee they will have a hard time containing these two players, especially if they get hot early.
Our betting prediction for the Charlotte Hornets vs. the Detroit Pistons: The Hornets +10.5 points
