Detroit Pistons 

The Detroit Pistons have been in fine form as they've won eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the Rockets in a 107-96 road defeat on Monday. Cade Cunningham led the team with 32 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, Malik Beasley added 17 points off the bench while Jalen Duren chipped in with 16 points, 14 rebounds, and four steals. As a team, the Pistons shot 47 percent from the field and 10 of 27 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 40 points in the first quarter to jump out in front early. The Pistons poured in 33 points in the third quarter to push the lead out to 15 points which was enough to hold off the Rockets. 

Atlanta Hawks 

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in decent shape as they've won four of their last six games overall. The Hawks will be hoping to bounce back here after having their three-game win streak halted by the Knicks in a 119-110 road defeat on Monday. Trae Young led the team with 27 points and six assists, De'Andre Hunter added 22 points off the bench, Onyeka Okongwu added 14 points while Jalen Johnson chipped in with 11 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and 13 of 30 from the 3-point line. The Hawks looked to be in control when they poured in 35 points in the second quarter to take a 10-point lead, only to see their hard work go to waste in the third quarter where they got outscored by 40-27 to surrender the lead for good. The Hawks will meet the Raptors (twice) and Timberwolves after this game.

Detroit Pistons vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Pistons are still slightly shorthanded with Jaden Ivey still out, while the Hawks are keeping an eye on Jalen Johnson who is questionable for this one. Both teams are coming into this meeting with decent momentum, so it's not surprising to see the line so short for this one. You can make an argument for either team here. The Pistons have been in a groove for a while now and I think they can keep it going with a minor upset in this spot if Johnson sits out for the Hawks.
