- Total: Over 217.5 (-105) • Under 217.5 (-115)
This game is tied for the lowest Over/Under on the Monday slate and also seems to reflect how the Pistons have fared vs the Hornets in recent matchups. Detroit has won the first two meetings of the season and four of the last six.
The last game between the teams was in Detroit on Jan. 24, a 113-106 Pistons win. but this is a revised version of the Pistons that the Hornets will see. Bojan Bogdanovic, Killian Hayes and Alec Burks are no longer with the team after playing in the last meeting.
Charlotte is the only team that Detroit has defeated twice this season. Jalen Duren, who was originally drafted by the Hornets, had a career-high 19 rebounds against them on Dec. 14, 2022, and he has averaged 11.2 points and 13.2 rebounds in five career games against Charlotte.
Brandon Miller had 23 points on Saturday and in the last meeting with Detroit, and Miles Bridges had 24 points on Saturday and 20 points and 10 rebounds in the last game vs the Pistons. LaMelo Ball remains sidelined with an ankle injury, and Mark Williams is still out of action with a back issue.
Hornets vs Pistons Best Bet
Under 217.5 (-115)
BetMGM Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
In four consecutive games and five of the last six, Charlotte and its opponents have not reached the projected total. The Hornets rank 20th in pace, so they will attempt to slow the game down against Detroit, which ranks eighth in that department,
You can also consider the Hornets to cover the spread of +4.5, as Detroit likely should not be favored by that many points against any opponent. The Hornets don’t have much to play for in the standings but could be extra motivated to avoid a season sweep by the worst team in the league.
