Charlotte at Detroit

Detroit scored 12 points in the second quarter and 13 in the third in Tuesday's 111-97 loss at New York, after leading 38-25 at halftime. Jalen Duren sat with a hamstring strain, and Paul Reed started at center in his place. The Pistons scored 121 and 128 in their first two games and 106 and 97 in the two since, and Duren is out again tonight. Detroit also plays the second night of a back-to-back after the trip home from New York, while Charlotte last played Monday. The Hornets have their own hole. Coby White and Kon Knueppel have not played this season, and Charlotte has scored 110, 81, 115 and 110 in its four games, an average of 104. Brandon Miller scored 39 of the 110 against Washington, and the Hornets outrebounded the Wizards 54-41 while committing 11 turnovers, a season low for them. I give Detroit's defense credit for holding Philadelphia to 93 on Sunday. Two short-handed rosters take the floor, and I'm taking the UNDER.
