Pistons at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 115, Pistons 101
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Hawks (-750), who are 20-18 at home, to beat the Pistons (+525), who are riddled with injuries and just 6-30 on the road.
Against the spread
BET HAWKS -11.5 (-115).
Detroit is dealing with an array of injuries and as a result has failed to cover the spread in 5 of its last 8 games, including 2 of its last 3 on the road as a double-digit underdog. It has scored 99 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4 games and will be unable to keep up with a Hawks squad that has covered in 5 of its last 6 games, including 4 of its last 5 at home.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).
The Pistons have allowed 110 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games while scoring 101 or more points in 4 of their last 7.
Atlanta has hit the Over in 8 of its last 10 games including 7 of its last 8. It has scored at least 110 points in 9 of its last 10 games while allowing 122 in 2 of its last 3 and 118 or more points in 6 of its last 10.
While Atlanta should carry a majority of the weight, with Detroit’s recent track record they will not be able to score enough for the Over to hit.
