These two teams are more about defense than offense. Detroit ranks No. 2 in fewest points allowed per game while the Hornets rank 11th.
Charlotte just played its best defensive game of the year beating Memphis, 104-85, last night at Memphis. Now the Hornets have to return home. This marks their fourth game in five days. So don't expect a fast pace from Charlotte.
The Pistons average just 93 points on the road, down four points from their season average. Their field goal shooting is worse on the road and their 3-point marksmanship on the road is the worst in the NBA.
Detroit has fared very poorly on the road. The Pistons, though, have been idle the past two days. Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy wants to get his team turned around when playing on the road and he's doing it by stressing defense. The under has cashed 13 of the last 16 times Detroit has played on two days rest.
There's the chance Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson makes his season debut here. If that's the case it would be a plus for the under. Jackson is a good player, but he figures to be rusty and there would be a transition period for his teammates, who are used now to journeyman and poor-shooting Ish Smith drawing the major point guard minutes.
