Pistons vs Hawks Prediction
The Detroit Pistons are on the end of a back-to-back, but it doesn’t matter. The Pistons are a scrappy bunch that gets after it regardless. The Hawks are going nowhere fast with eight straight losses, and they’re now 21-28 ATS on the season. Remember, the Hawks were by far the worst cover team in the NBA last year. The Hawks don’t make you money. The Pistons also beat the Hawks on the road a little over a week ago by 10 points while allowing 38 percent shooting from the field. This line feels soft, and it’s probably one of the better bets you can make on Monday night. The Hawks are in a free fall. Give me the Pistons and the soft line.
