The NBA action does not stop and this Friday, February 3, the Hornets vs Pistons game will pit two of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference against each other.
The Pistons were scheduled to play the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, but the game was postponed because the team has been unable to return to Detroit from Dallas due to poor weather conditions. Meanwhile, the Hornets have suffered six losses in their last 10 games played, not including Thursday’s game against the Bulls.
Without further ado, JefeBet bring you everything you need to know about this Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons game, as well as we remind you that here you can follow all the NBA action.

Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 15-37
The Hornets were expected to fight for a playoff berth or, at worst, the Play-In tournament, but LaMelo Ball’s team’s season has been an unmitigated disaster.
Meanwhile, Charlotte’s management will likely listen to offers for several roster veterans such as Gordon Hayward, Kelly Oubre Jr, Mason Plumlee and P.J. Washington,considering that campaign is already lost. Now, the team’s goal is to position itself for the next draft, where it will surely have one of the first five selections.
Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 13-39
The Detroit Pistons lost their star player Cade Cunningham for the season, and from that moment on, it was clear that it was going to be a long and stormy season for them.
Like the Hornets, Detroit is expected to listen to offers for several veterans, with Bojan Bogdanovic being one of the most important cards heading into the trade deadline. The 33-year-old is averaging 21.4 points per game, and that scoring ability could provide a noticeable boost to any contending team.
Various reports and rumors have indicated that the Pistons want a first-round pick to agree to trade Bogdanovic.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pistons defeated the Hornets 141-134 in overtime in the previous meeting between the two this season. Alec Burks contributed with 27 points off the bench, and he was Detroit’s leading scorer.
Considering that these two teams are already out of the fight in the 2022-23 NBA season, we will surely see another high scoring game in which defensive play will be absent. This is one of the reasons why we, at JefeBet, are leaning to believe that the Over will be met in this game.
Prediction: Over.
