The 3-5 Detroit Pistons seek their third straight victory when they head to Charlotte to take on the struggling 2-5 Hornets. We’ve got a match prediction ready for you in this Eastern Conference battle!

The Hornets return home after an unsuccessful visit to the Target Center saw them suffer a 114-93 defeat to the Timberwolves. Charlotte was ice-cold from the field in that encounter, shooting below 40% from the field and a tough 10/42 (23.8%) from three-point range.

The loss was the third in the row for the Hornets, who will be hoping to bounce back at the Spectrum Center where they are 1-3 on the season.

The Pistons are in somewhat uncharted territory after a painful 14-68 season last year. They’ve won their last two games on the trot, a comfortable win over the Nets followed by a 115-103 victory over the Lakers on Monday.

Detroit has now won three of their last four games following an 0-3 start with the young duo of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey at the heart of their resurgence. Ivey equaled his season-high with 26 points against the Lakers, while Cunningham posted his first triple-double of the season in the same game.

The Pistons have won two of their four away trips so far and will be confident of adding a third on Wednesday.
