The Detroit Pistons are getting absolutely torched on the defensive end through 4 games, and playing on the end of a back to back here likely doesn’t help. The Atlanta Hawks have the offensive firepower to give the Pistons fits, and it’s only a matter of time before shots start to fall at a higher clip. The Detroit Pistons are losing by an average of 18 points during their 3-game losing streak. I’ll lay the chalk with the Hawks on the road.
