Atlanta Has To Turn It Around
If there is one thing that the Atlanta Hawks are going to have to do in the back end of the season, it’s that they are going to have to beat teams that they are clearly better than. The Atlanta Hawks made the Eastern Conference Finals a season ago but haven’t been able to find much success this season as they are below .500.
In the Atlanta Hawks’ last game, they were able to come away with an impressive 117-114 win against the Washington Wizards. DeAndre Hunter led the way with 26 points while Trae Young was right behind him with 25.
On the season Atlanta has the 13th rated net rating, the number two rated offense, and the 27th ranked defense.
Detroit Trying To Keep Playing Well
The Detroit Pistons season is already over as they have virtually no chance of making the playoffs. However, they are coming into this winning five out of their 10 five games and they are also on a two-game winning streak. This is a great thing for a young Pistons team to build off of going into the back end of the season and trying to build good habits for the remainder of the year.
In the Pistons’ last game against the Indiana Pacers, they were able to come away with a 111-106 victory. Saddiq Bey led the way with 25 points and Cade Cunningham was right behind him. Newly-acquired big man Marvin Bagley was also able to have 18 points in just 22 minutes.
On the season, the Pistons have the 29th rated net rating, the 28th rated offensive rating, and the 25th rated defense.

Free NBA Picks —Pistons vs Hawks
For this game, I’m going to go with the Atlanta Hawks to cover the spread. Atlanta hasn’t necessarily been great for most of the year, but they do realize that they need to start playing better basketball to secure a playoff spot and this is a Pistons team that they should be able to easily take care of if they do come out here and do what everybody knows they are capable of doing.
Detroit is playing better basketball as of late, but I expect that trend to not continue.
