The Detroit Pistons look to snap a four game losing streak on the road against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday evening.
The Hornets won their fourth straight game 108-103 at home against Miami Heat on Saturday night. The Pistons were defeated 95-91 at home against the Toronto Raptors.
This will be the third of four games in a regular season series that Detroit leads 2-0 after beating Charlotte 118-112 on February 3rd. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM EST/4:00 PST from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.

Gordon Hayward led the team in scoring with 21 points on 8-14 from the floor. Lamelo Ball recorded a 19 point,13 assist double-double as did rookie Center Mark Williams who had 18 points and 20 rebounds.
The Hornets are starting to move in the wrong direction in the standings as they now have the leagues 4th worst record after winning four straight games.
Charlotte ranks 24th in scoring with 112.6 points a game on 45.5% from the field. The defense sits at 23rd in defensive rating and 28th in defensive scoring with 118.6 points per game.
PJ Washington is listed as doubtful for this contest due to a foot injury while Cody Martin has been ruled out due to a knee injury.
Pistons Look To Snap Four Game Skid
The Detroit Pistons record dropped to 15-46 on the season losing their fourth straight game to Toronto on Saturday night.
Free throws proved to be the difference as the Raptors went 22-34 from the charity stripe while Detroit went only 9-14. Marvin Bagley III led the team in scoring and rebounding with 21 points and 18 rebounds off the bench.
We also saw double-doubles from Jaden Ivey with 10 points, 10 assists and James Wiseman with 10 points, 10 rebounds.
The Pistons currently sit dead last in the Eastern Conference and have the 3rd worst record in the NBA. Detroit ranks 27th in scoring with 111.8 points a game on 45.4% shooting.
Defense has been bottom of the barrel at 28th in defensive rating and 29th in defensive scoring with 119.3 points allowed per game.
Nerlens Noel (personal) and Jalen Duren (ankle) have both already been ruled out for this contest while Isaiah Stewart (hip):and Bojan Bogdonavic (achilles) are both questionable.
Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons Expert Player Prop Prediction
The Charlotte Hornets are 6.5 point home favorites with a total set at 237. This is a classic battle between the Eastern Conferences two worst teams but the Hornets have shown signs of life with four straight wins.
I’m going to be looking at the over 21.5 Points + Rebounds from their rookie Center Mark Williams. The seven footer has cleared this total in two of his last three games with 38, 14 & 22 PR.
He broke out in his last game against the Miami Heat with 18 points and 20 rebounds. The Detroit Pistons allow 8th most points (23.43/game) and 3rd most rebounds (16.17/game) to opposing centers.
Opposing rookie Center Jalen Duren has already been ruled out for Detroit while Isaiah Stewart is listed as questionable.
PJ Washington is also listed as doubtful for Charlotte, so the bigs are thin on both sides. This is a perfect spot for Williams to have another monster effort, we will take his over.
Player Prop Prediction: Mark Williams Over 21.5 Points + Rebounds -120 FanDuel
