After been stuck in Dallas for the better part of three days, the struggling Detroit Pistons return home to host the lowly but not quite as low Charlotte Hornets. With both franchises firmly in the hunt for projected first overall selection Victor Wenbanyama, the result of tonight’s contest could have significant implications come the NBA’s Draft Lottery in May if not stick in the memory as one of the greatest games anyone will ever see.
The Pistons find themselves as rare favourites in this one, probably in part to their extended rest between outings.
