Detroit Pistons - Charlotte Hornets Basketball prediction

In my opinion after this offseason Detroit looked very solid in pre-season win all games at home just lost away games. And now have to face Charlotte who having huge holes in roster: Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, MCW (all out indefinitely), and Stone with Graham are listed as questionable for opener, i think from Charlotte side it would be loud place to play especially when Detroit will play in new building this season, and fans will want a win, and Detroit will try not to start a season as bad as was year ago, having just two bench players out Buycks and Bullock i think Detroit coming much more prepared than Charlotte, and with addition with Brandley in this offseason i think defense especially in season stages should give Detroit advantage in rotation in some games versus average teams like Charlotte. With Batum out and MKG whom was their top defenders. I don't think is Charlotte have more defenders in their roster who could stay with Brandley, or Harris all game long. I think Detroit will win this first game. Good luck.
