Atlanta Hawks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Hawks are keeping an eye on Jalen Johnson, who is questionable with a shoulder injury, while the Pistons have ruled out Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart and Marcus Sasser, with Javonte Green listed as questionable. These teams have already clashed three times this season, with the Pistons winning on each occasion but the last meeting was back in December and a lot has changed since then.
The Pistons are in a real groove right now, but they are still missing Cunningham, which opens the door for the surging Hawks, who have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league. I get why the Pistons are favorites at home, but the Hawks are playing their best basketball of the season right now and I think they can pull off the minor upset against a shorthanded Pistons squad.
