In his most recent game he had 11 pts, 1 rebound and 1 assist, so he should stay in shape.
For its part, the Charlotte Hornets (18-40) arrive at this game in the penultimate position in the standings with only 18 wins in 40 games, despite the fact that they do not arrive at a good moment of the season since they have 1 win in their last 5 games, in addition that they have 4 wins in their last 10 games, so they will seek to vindicate themselves at home. At home Charlotte Hornets is not so solid at home with only 9 wins in 28 games, in addition to registering 1 wins in their last 5 home games it will look difficult to win against Pistons
Detroit Pistons (48-10) travel to Charlotte Hornets at a great time of the season as they have 5 wins in their last 5 games, in addition to only 1 loss in their last 10 games.
On the road, the Detroit Pistons have only lost 5 of their 28 games, so solidity away from home is their thing.
Of their last 5 games they have 4 away wins and only 1 of their last 10 games have been losses, so it seems difficult for them to lose today.
