Charlotte at Detroit

Two teams going nowhere meet here tonight, but Charlotte has a clear advantage as it has beaten Detroit nine times in a row and covered the spread the last five. Also, the Pistons have packed it in for the season as they start yet another rebuilding phase. The teams met three times in November, and the Hornets won and covered all of them. They are 20-6 ATS their last 26 games versus teams that have a .400 or worse winning percentage. Also, Charlotte has bounced back and covered five of its last six after losing at home by at least 10 points. The Pistons are 21-43-1 ATS their last 65 games dating to last season and just 4-13 ATS their last 17 home contests. Also, Detroit is 6-15 ATS playing with one day of rest. Take the Hornets.
