Charlotte Hornets at Detroit Pistons Prediction
We are going to now head the other way and lay Charlotte after they come in off an impressive win to say the least. The Hornets were in position to procure such a result as they have been a quality outfit at home all season. However, we have seen Charlotte have some difficulties on the road this season as they are just 8-9 away from the Queen City. A similar position was taken when the Hornets took to the road against Chicago and we found success. Detroit even with their loss at home against Indiana coupled with Charlotte’s win has still priced them as a favorite. This is no mistake as the market is astute to the let-down scenarios Charlotte is undoubtedly prone to. We are going to once again ride the trend the Hornets have undertaken and fade a likely overreaction here. Detroit has beaten Cleveland in The Palace so there is no reason to suspect they cannot take down the Hornets. With respect to this, Detroit has failed to cover as a favorite the last two times they were at home, losing outright and thus it dissuades action but nonetheless the match-up here sets up favorably for the Pistons to change their fortune as they hold advantages against Charlotte in shooting efficiency, defense and turnovers. Oklahoma City is an offensive-oriented team that takes many shots and commits many turnovers. The basis of their game is to outscore opponents regardless. For Detroit their strategy is entirely different and it can likely bode success for them in this situation against a Charlotte team that was forced to score 123 points to beat OKC. Detroit won’t offer as many concessions.
