LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller lead the Charlotte Hornets' starting five into the fight

The Charlotte Hornets look to stop their three-game losing streak against the Detroit Pistons tonight. Charlotte has lost three straight games to the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves, arguably the most disheartening trio of consecutive games on their schedule, and relief against the surging Detroit Pistons will be a welcome sight.

Detroit enters today's game on a two-game winning streak, the latter with a dominant win over LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Detroit's young guard duo Cade Cunningham (23.2 points, 7.4 assists, 6.4 rebounds) and Jaden Ivey (19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists) made a splash early in the NBA season attention. Both guards possess an impressive combination of downhill prowess and deft shooting from distance, and Charlotte will have its hands full with Ivey and Cunningham starting today's opening tip.

Charlotte and Detroit face off tonight at 64-64, an all-time head-to-head tie, making tonight's game a tiebreaker for the historic series between the two franchises. Let's look at the starting lineups for today's rubber game.

LaMelo Ball – Point Guard

Josh Green – Small Forward

Miles Bridges – Power forward

Taj Gibson – Center
