Hawks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 123, Pistons 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks should be able to pick up the win vs. this struggling Pistons squad, but a -190 favorite is not worth betting on. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN HAWKS -4.5 (-110).

Detroit is very injury riddled and is on a losing skid right now, and those issues give Atlanta the edge to cover here. The Pistons will miss the rebounding and paint presence on both sides of the ball from Duren, and their lack of bench production due to injury will be detrimental as well.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in 7 of Detroit's 10 and has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Detroit-Atlanta matchups. Detroit has allowed opponents to score 120 or more points in 5 of its 8 games during its current skid. Neither team is very good defensively, with both allowing more than 114 points per game, so this game should cruise to hit the Over.
