The Charlotte Hornets (25-28) welcome the Detroit Pistons (38-13) for an NBA 2025-26 matchup on Monday, February 9, at Spectrum Center.
The Pistons have dominated this season's series opener, cruising to a 112-86 blowout victory back in December at Little Caesars Arena. Pistons star Cade Cunningham got himself a triple-double with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, while the other four Hornets starters also scored in double digits.
Working in Detroit's favor is their exceptional recent form, having secured seven victories in their previous ten contests, highlighted by a crushing 118-80 dismantling of the New York Knicks at home.
Daniss Jenkins, coming off the pine with incredible efficiency this year, torched the Knicks for 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting. The Pistons' second unit stole the show, outscoring New York's bench, 66-36.
Meanwhile, Charlotte is riding high after outlasting the Atlanta Hawks, 126-119, in their most recent outing. The Hornets' offense clicked on all cylinders, converting 48.4% of their field goal attempts and draining 46.2% from beyond the arc.
The Hornets will head into Monday riding an impressive nine-game streak, which has boosted their playoff aspirations.
Coby White and Malaki Branham will sit out for the Hornets, while Pistons wing Ronald Holland II is out due to personal reasons.
