Detroit Pistons vs Charlotte Hornets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 9, 2026

Detroit's visit to Charlotte followed a lopsided December matchup—the Pistons had crushed the Hornets 112–86 less than a month prior—but this rematch proved significantly tighter, with Detroit escaping with a 110–104 victory in a game that landed well beneath the market total of 222.5. The combined 214 points came in 8.5 under the pregame line, and DAGGER's lean to the under cashed cleanly.

The first quarter set an aggressive pace, with 62 combined points flowing freely. Detroit and Charlotte traded buckets early, though the scoring would decelerate sharply thereafter. The second quarter added only 56 combined points, and the second half proved even more sluggish—48 in the third and 48 in the fourth—as both offenses stalled. Charlotte opened the third quarter ahead but couldn't sustain momentum, while Detroit's defense tightened down the stretch. Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 33 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, controlling the game's tempo. Duncan Robinson added 18 points and 4 assists; Jalen Duren chipped in 15 points. For the Hornets, Brandon Miller scored 24 with 3 rebounds, and both Kon Knueppel and LaMelo Ball contributed 20 points apiece. Despite the earlier blowout, Charlotte kept this one competitive, but Detroit's depth and Cunningham's playmaking proved decisive in a grind-it-out affair that rewarded the unders.
