Pistons at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 121, Pistons 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pistons have lost 23 straight, and it wouldn't be wise to bet on that streak to end on the road. The Hawks at -550 are too expensive to bet to win outright as well.

Against the spread

LEAN PISTONS +10.5 (-106).

While the 23 straight losses in alarming, the Pistons aren't the worst-covering team in the NBA. The Hawks are. They are 6-19 ATS while the Pistons are 8-17-1 ATS.

Atlanta is the worst home-covering team as well at just 1-9 ATS. Its top-2 scoring options both shoot under 45%, so it doesn't get a lot of consistent, efficient playmaking. The Pistons have the most-efficient player that is averaging over 20 points per game in F Bojan Bogdanovic, who is shooting 49% from the field.

Neither team has been great for bettors but take the one with the more efficient scorers. Back PISTONS +10.5 (-106).

Over/Under

BET OVER 244 (-112).

The Pistons are 3-1 O/U in their last 4 games and are 15-11 O/U on the season. They have allowed 123 or more points in 5 straight games and are playing a Hawks team that has ample 3-point shooting. Detroit sits 7th in pace with Atlanta 5th. Both teams play at an ultra-fast tempo.

The Hawks have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games and have scored at least 122 in 3 of tie last 5, having allowed 125 or more in 4 of their last 5. Both teams like to run and play quick.

That said, back OVER 244 (-112).
