LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller lead the Charlotte Hornets’ starting five in battle against

On November 7, 2024By Littum

The Charlotte Hornets look to stop the bleeding from a three-game losing streak tonight against the Detroit Pistons. Charlotte has lost three straight at the hands of the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves, arguably the scariest trio of back-to-back games on their schedule, and the reprieve against the upstart Detroit Pistons will be a welcome sight.

Detroit enters tonight’s game on a two-game winning streak, the latter a dominating win over LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Detroit’s young guard pairing of Cade Cunningham (23.2 points, 7.4 assists, 6.4 rebounds) and Jaden Ivey (19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists) has been turning heads in the early NBA season. Both guards boast an impressive combination of downhill driving ability and slick shooting from the perimeter, and Charlotte will have its hands full with Ivey and Cunningham from tonight’s opening tip.

Charlotte and Detroit enter tonight’s game 64-64 against each other all-time head-to-head, making tonight’s game a tiebreaker for the historic series between the two franchises. Let’s see the starting lineups for tonight’s rubber match.
