Free Detroit Pistons vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Fun fact about this contest: Whichever team loses straight up becomes the ultimate winner of the NBA’s worst record.
Congratulations!
In the battle of least competitive teams ever (not really, but basically…) this battle will go to Charlotte.
If you’ve watched as much NBA League Pass as I have, you’ve seen that this Hornets team just tries harder than this Pistons squad. That’s especially true when the Hornets are at home and the Pistons are on the road.
The Hornets don’t have a ton of opportunities to jump on an opponent for a convincing win. But they do have the vets willing to sniff out a victory. And they do have plenty of veterans they’re ready to showcase ahead of the NBA’s trade season knowing they have plenty of assets to place on the block.
Give this one to the Hornets and this Charlotte crowd.
Charlotte both straight up and against the spread.
