Why the Hornets can cover

Detroit is going to be without Cade Cunningham, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, for the remainder of the season due to surgery for an injured shin. Cunningham has been sidelined for more than a month, and Detroit has not had much success without him on the court. The Pistons have lost each of their last three games and have not scored 120 points in a game since Dec. 1. 

They will be contending with the scoring duo of Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre Jr., who have both scored 20-plus points in eight consecutive games. Rozier is averaging a team-high 22.2 points per game, while Oubre is adding 20.8 points and 5.2 rebounds. Charlotte has been dominant in this series, winning 15 of the last 16 meetings, including nine of its last 10 against Detroit at home. 

Why the Pistons can cover

Detroit has been without Cunningham for the past month, so the Pistons have figured out how to play without him. They have already recorded quality wins over the Mavericks and Heat in December, along with a pair of close losses to the Pelicans and Lakers in the past week. Bojan Bogdanovic has led Detroit in scoring in three of the past four games, including a 38-point outburst against the Lakers.

Charlotte is playing without two of its best players in LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (shoulder). The Hornets have been relying too much on Rozier and Oubre Jr., which has not been a winning combination. Detroit has been undervalued in recent road games, going unbeaten against the spread in its last six games away from home.
