The Detroit Pistons took a 110-98 loss to Boston in their first game back from the All Star break. They've now lost four of their last five, and this looks like another tough spot at Charlotte Sunday afternoon.

The Hornets have won three in a row, two since the All Star break defeating Brooklyn 111-96 on Feb 23. before winning 122-105 at Washington the next night. Hornets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and the favorite is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in this series. The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in six straight games and eight of their last nine.

Detroit is in the No. 9 spot in the East with 24 games remaining in the regular season while Charlotte sits in 10th, 2 1/2 games of the Pistons. The Hornets have all the momentum though and ended a three-game losing streak in the series with a 118-107 win at Detroit on Jan. 15.

My selection is a 10* play on Charlotte Hornets ATS.
