Detroit has won three of its past four games
The Charlotte Hornets have scuffled to start the season, but LaMelo Ball remains a dangerous and prolific scorer. Ball is averaging 28 points this season on career-high shot attempts and career-high efficiency. For the Detroit Pistons to win its third consecutive game and fourth in five tries, they will need to keep their turnovers in check. No surprise there. The Hornets have the same keys to the game. Each team’s best player also happens to be among the league leaders in turnovers per game. The aforementioned Ball averages 5.7 assists and 5.4 turnovers. Cade Cunningham is scoring 23.4 points per game this season with 7.4 assists and 4.9 turnovers.
