The Pistons will be without Marcus Sasser, Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, and Bobi Klintman. Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson are questionable.
Hawks vs Pistons Prediction
The Pistons are rolling with 10 straight wins and have covered 8 of those games. It’s hard to step in front of this team in their current form. However, the Pistons are on the end of a back-to-back, and they have a lengthy injury report. The Hawks have injuries of their own, so it’s going to be key to check the report for updates.
I’m leaning Hawks at home because of the rest advantage, and they’re coming off a fabulous road trip that includes 5 straight wins and covers. The Hawks have also won 7 of the last 10 games against the Pistons. I like the Hawks to end the Pistons winning streak.
