Atlanta Hawks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Hawks are still missing Kristaps Porzingis and Trae Young, while the Pistons should have Caris LeVert in the lineup but they are keeping an eye on Duncan Robinson who is questionable with an ankle sprain. The Hawks are certainly tempting with the handful of points as they’ve quietly been one of the form teams in the league, but it’s a tough ask to play on zero days rest following a double overtime game. The Pistons were lucky to escape with a narrow win over the Heat in their last outing, but they’ve been in terrific form and I think they can take down this shorthanded Hawks squad.
