The Detroit Pistons kick off the second half of their schedule tonight against LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. Detroit looks to continue building up its young players and that is all the easier with Blake Griffin officially a Brooklyn Net. The team might change even more as the trade deadline approaches. The Hornets, meanwhile, might take a gamble on a missing piece to help the team’s already solid foundation of Ball, Miles Bridges, PJ Washington and veterans Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward.
