Charlotte Hornets Analysis

The Charlotte Hornets looked to the future in their season opener, giving rookie Brandon Miller the first spot off the bench. Miller proved to be successful in the clutch, finishing the game with 13 points and connecting on 3 three-pointers. PJ Washington led the scoring for Charlotte with 25 points, and LaMelo Ball had 15 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds. Terry Rozier added 24 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds and Mark Williams had a solid game with 13 points and 15 rebounds. Brandon Miller's confidence and ability to come back after early fouls show potential for him to make a big impact in the future, alongside the reliable play of Gordon Hayward and Mark Williams. Injury Report: Day-to-Day: Cody Martin, Bryce McGowens (who did not play in the opener). Charlotte has a power ranking of 27 and averages points per game and gives up an average of points per game. They have gone 1-0 (1-0 ATS) overall.

Hornets Leverage Rookies as They Take Advantage of Home Court in Pistons Matchup

The Charlotte Hornets benefited from their schedule, beginning the season with two home games against teams from the lower half of the Eastern Conference. After their win against the Atlanta Hawks, the Hornets have gone into the game with the Detroit Pistons with the advantage of rest and regrouping while Detroit were on the road having just had a close loss against the Miami Heat. Charlotte, having a more reliable roster, will be leveraging rookies such as PJ Washington and Brandon Miller against Detroit's weak defensive backcourt. As the Pistons rely heavily on Duran and Stewart, it is likely that Miller will be successful in capitalising on this advantage as the young players from Detroit were not particularly successful in the opener. Thus, the Hornets are in a strong position to make the most of their home court advantage and win.
