Pistons vs Hawks prediction
The Hawks need this game as they have a chance to move up to the ninth seed, and they’ve won 6 straight games against the Pistons. The Hawks could blow the doors off a Pistons team that’s waiting for the offseason to arrive. However, this is a lot of points for a Hawks team that has a cover percentage of 37.3 percent. That’s the worst cover percentage in the NBA. The Hawks also play the Mavericks tomorrow, so I doubt they want to spend a ton of energy winning by a large margin. Give me the Pistons and the free buckets.
