The Pistons will play three of the next four on the road so picking up a win is key before opening that stretch. Tonight they will try for their seventh win in a row over the Bobcats.

Detroit is still without Richard Hamilton, who missed his eighth consecutive game because of a partial tear in his left groin. Hamilton, averaging 17.2 points, returned to practice Monday and could play as early as tonight, according to the Pistons' official website.

Charlotte backers won't be happy to see Hamilton on the court. He has averaged 20.8 points in 15 career games against Charlotte and 18.5 points in the two matchups this season.

Detroit is 12-4 all-time against the Bobcats and 6-1 at home. Bet on the game with Bodog's NBA basketball betting with Bodog today.
