The Pistons and Hornets link in Charlotte on NBA TV for the second meeting of the season.
Detroit is 7-9 and has won seven of the past 12 since starting the season 0-4. Cade Cunningham has been a driving force in the Pistons' success with four straight double-doubles and four triple-doubles in the past nine games. Detroit has won two of the past three games but lost its previous outing at home to Chicago (122-112).
Charlotte is 5-9 on the year and one of its wins came against Detroit at home (108-107). However, the Hornets have lost two straight and four of the past five games. All four losses came on the road and the lone win during that span was a controversial one-point home win versus the Bucks (115-114).

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Brandon Miller to go Over 18.5 Points versus the Pistons:
"Brandon Miller is coming off a season-high 29 points and 11 made field goal attempts. Over the last nine games, Miller has shot at least 16 field goal attempts in eight of those and 9 or more three-pointers.
The volume for Miller is here as he has taken command of being the No. 2 scoring option in Charlotte. Miller scored 19 points in the earlier season meeting with Detroit on 6-for-16 shooting, 3-for-11 from three, and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.
Those efforts could be a small reflection of how he's been playing now, so I like Miller Over 18.5 Points against the Pistons."
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Pistons and the Hornets:
