Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost nine of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after falling just short to the Grizzlies in a 110-108 loss on Monday. Cade Cunningham led the team with 36 points and eight assists on 13 of 22 shooting, Jaden Ivey added 20 points with six assists while Chimezie Metu chipped in iwth 17 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. As a team, the Pistons shot 50 percent from the field and 11 of 28 from the 3-point line as they played great defense early on to keep the Grizzlies to just 44 points in the first half and lead by 15 points, but they couldn’t maintain that intensity and got outscored by 66-51 in the second half as they just had no answer for the Grizzlies who took the game away with a 41-point explosion in the third quarter. The Pistons will take on the Nets after this one.
Atlanta Hawks
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in great shape as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Bulls in a 113-101 road win on Monday. Bogdan Bogdanovic led the team with 20 points and six assists on six of seven shooting, Vit Krejci added 18 points while Dejounte Murray tallied 17 points with eight rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 50 percent from the field and 19 of 40 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running with 61 points in the first half to overcome an early 11-point deficit and lead by 17 points which was more than enough to hold off a late rally from the Bulls in the fourth quarter.
Atlanta Hawks Player Facts
- Bogdan Bogdanovic is one of only two players to have scored 40+ points off the bench in a game this season.
- Dejounte Murray ranks 3rd in the Eastern Conference amongst qualified players for steals per game (1.4) this season.

- The Hawks rank 2nd in the league for offensive rebounds per game this season (12.7).
- The Pistons rank 30th in the league for steals per game this season (6.3).

Pistons vs Hawks prediction
The Pistons are still keeping eyes on Marcus Sasser and Cade Cunningham who are both listed as questionable for this one, while the Hawks are still without Onyeka Okongwu and Trae Young. The Pistons are capable of making themselves a nuisance in this one if Cunningham is able to suit up. The Pistons banged up for this one, I’m more comfortable going with the improving Hawks to stay hot with another win and cover at home.
