Charlotte Hornets
This will be Charlotte’s last game without its Head Coach Steve Clifford, who will return to practice tomorrow following over a month of medical leave.
Clifford has been suffering from headaches as a result of sleep deprivation. The way he describes it makes it just sound like he’s stressed and that he probably shouldn’t be an NBA coach. Regardless, he’s coming back and we can only hope that he has laid out some strategies that will help him stay healthy while doing what he enjoys.

The Hornets have won three of their last five games under interim coach Steve Smith. Those wins came against the Lakers, Kings and Jazz though. This is still one of the weakest teams in the NBA.

Charlotte lost its season-opener in Detroit way back in October. This is the second matchup between the two teams.
Dwight Howard will have his hands full with Andre Drummond, but Kemba Walker could have an easier time scoring the ball if he matches up with Ish Smith instead of Avery Bradley.
Bradley is basically resigned to the opponents’ two-guard now that Reggie Jackson is hurt and Smith is the regular point guard. Walker will have to do all he can to keep Charlotte in this game, as per usual.
Detroit Pistons
Detroit won just once on its recent three-game road trip. The Pistons took care of Brooklyn but lost to New Orleans and Chicago. They will return home for this game on Monday afternoon before hitting the road for one in Toronto.
Then the Pistons will be home for a while with four consecutive home games on the schedule.

Stan Van Gundy is a little thin on the bench with Jackson out, as well as Stanley Johnson. He pushed Avery Bradley for 38 minutes over the weekend in Chicago, Reggie Bullock for 35 and Drummond for 34. All four bench players did finish with a positive +/-, combining for a net +12.
On first thought, you would assume Detroit would be giving more than 3.5 points in this particular matchup. It’s a funny number that has me thinking the non-intuitive play could be the right side here.
