Pistons vs. Hornets Game Info

Detroit Pistons (10-26, 4-16 Away) vs. Charlotte Hornets (17-18, 9-8 Home)
Date: Thursday, March 11, 2021
Time: 7 p.m. EST
Venue: Spectrum Center — Charlotte, N.C.

Delon Wright is questionable to play tonight. His return would make the Pistons healthy again, as they look to give their young players plenty of time to develop. They have won just two of their last nine games, looking like the worst team in the entire NBA. There is very little to be excited about with the Pistons, but Jerami Grant is a little bit of light. He is leading the way for Detroit with 23.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this season.

Charlotte has been really beat up as of late, so the All-Star break came at a great time for them. Devonte’ Graham is probable to return from his knee injury that has kept him out since Feb. 14. Despite him returning, it was announced that star rookie LaMelo Ball will be staying in the starting lineup. He has been a stud this season, averaging 15.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. Charlotte may run a three-guard lineup with Graham’s return, with Gordon Hayward playing power forward.

Pistons vs. Hornets Prediction

The Pistons are terrible. I will never put money on a Detroit team, and I’m not starting tonight. They are on the road, and the spread is fairly close. Charlotte should be able to have plenty of offensive success in this game.

Prediction: Hornets -4.5
