Hornets rule Cody Zeller (hip) out for 2nd straight game
Zeller hurt his left hip against Miami on Monday night, and he was sidelined for a home game against Detroit on Wednesday.
The Pistons are still without point guard Reggie Jackson (lumbar stress reaction).
Zeller, 27, is averaging 11.2 points on the season in 17 games. Bismack Biyombo made his third start of the season in Zeller’s place. At 6-foot-8, he was the tallest player in the starting lineup for the Hornets.
