The Charlotte Hornets qualify as one of the hottest teams in the NBA while on a four-game winning streak that they take into Monday night's matchup against the visiting Detroit Pistons.
Only two teams held longer winning streaks heading into play Sunday, and with the Pistons the only team in theEastern Conference with a worse record than Charlotte, the Hornets will sample the role as favorite for Monday's game.
"Just keep it going," Charlotte guard Kelly Oubre Jr. said.
The Pistons will arrive with a four-game losing streak, although a chunk of their rare success this season has come when facing the Hornets.
