Pistons, Bobcats square off at The Palace

Tue 13th, January 2009

(Sports Network) - The Detroit Pistons will shoot for their sixth straight win at home Tuesday when they welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to The Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Pistons have won their last five as the host and own a 12-5 record at home this season. However, they have lost two of their last three games overall since a seven-game winning streak and suffered a 99-82 loss at Utah on Saturday night.

Rodney Stuckey had 19 points and Allen Iverson added 11 points and five assists for Detroit, which went 2-2 on a four-game road trip. Pistons guard Richard Hamilton (groin) is probable for Tuesday's game.

Charlotte will close out a four-game road trip this evening and ended a two- game slide with a 92-89 victory over the Washington Wizards on Saturday.

Raja Bell scored 19 points and Shannon Brown nailed the go-ahead three-pointer with less than three minutes remaining, as Charlotte improved to 4-12 away from home this season. Boris Diaw had 18 points, Juwan Howard added 12 and Adam Morrison finished with 11 for the Bobcats, who won despite Gerald Wallace being held to no points in 20 minutes of court time.

Raymond Felton returned from a right ankle injury early in the third quarter to finish with nine points and 11 assists in the win.

Detroit is 2-0 against Charlotte this season and has won six straight and 12 of the 16 all-time meetings. The Bobcats have dropped two in a row and six of the seven matchups at The Palace.
