Pistons vs Hawks Prediction
The Pistons are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home but I’m not sure how anybody can turn the points with the red-hot Hawks. It’s even more the case when you consider the Pistons’ injury report. The Hawks have won 13 of their last 14 games and they’ve covered 8 of their last 10 games.
The Hawks are oozing with confidence right now and have worked their way out of the play-in tournament. If this keeps up, the Hawks could snag the fifth seed in the East. This team is on fire and going up against the Pistons without Cade and Stewart, this is a winnable contest. Give me the bucket.
