Today in the NBA, the Pistons welcome the Hornets in what should be an entertaining match at the The Palace of Auburn Hills. If you plan to watch Detroit Pistons vs New Orleans Hornets live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Detroit vs New Orleans match preview.
Detroit Pistons vs New Orleans Hornets
The Pistons go into this one with a 30% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the New Orleans Hornets. John Kuester will be sure to keep an eye on the New Orleans streak (W 2), but the key against Hornets will be containing Chris Paul, Emeka Okafor and David West. The Pistons point differential is -6 this season (good for number 25 in the NBA), but not as good as the New Orleans Hornets’s average winning margin of 2.3 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Hornets will need to play to their strengths and their 31.9 defensive rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 7th best in the whole league in that area). Monty Williams’s team is 16-10 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-7 record away from New Orleans Arena.
Detroit have been dominating their opponents this season in the 3 point field goal percentage departement, with a 3.1 3 point field goal percentage differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 19.7 personal fouls average per game is 4th best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Monty Williams and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Pistons’ 6-7 home record.The fans in the The Palace of Auburn Hills are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Pistons vs Hornets online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 18:00 ET today.
