Charlotte Hornets

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
When a player of Victor Wembanyama’s ilk comes along it’s understandable why a franchise would commit to fighting to win that lottery.
On the other hand, I’m not sure why the Pistons are continuing to embrace losing and keeping top talents on the injury list particularly when they reside in the cellar with a 5.5 game padding over the team closest to breaking into that coveted bottom three tier which just happens to be the Hornets.
So — expect another loss by the Pistons and I’ll also take them to cover.
