Premium Pick

These teams have split the first two meetings with Detroit looking to avenge an 87-77 loss on Dec. 7 when it held Charlotte to a .341 shooting percentage, but the Pistons shot only .382 themselves. Andre Drummond led the Pistons with 26 points and 20 rebounds and Kemba Walker scored 25 for the Hornets. Charlotte is in a letdown situation and playing a back-to-back following a big home win over Oklahoma City last night. Nicolas Batum scored 28 points for the Hornets and Walker added 20 points and nine assists. Detroit couldn't get it done in overtime vs. an especially hot shooting night by Indiana in a 121-116 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday. Tobias Harris came off the bench to score 22 points and Drummond added 20 points and 14 rebounds. Charlotte has covered just two of its last eight road contests and one of its last five after an ATS win. The home team has also covered six of the last seven meetings, so play the Pistons.
