Pistons vs Hawks Prediction

The Hawks have Mae us money this season, and this is a thick line that’s worth a look. The problem is the Hawks are on the end of a back-to-back, a game that included overtime, and they’re banged up. If Porzingis is still out, you’re asking a lot of an undermanned Hawks side, especially against this Pistons defensive pressure. The Pistons just beat the Hawks by 8 points a couple of weeks ago. The Pistons are 13-7 ATS on the season. Only the Lakers and Rockets have a higher cover percentage. I’ll lay the points with the Pistons.
