The Pistons are coming into this game with a 1-2 record overall and they are 1-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back as they still have a game against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night that needs to be played first. They are entering this game on a 2 game losing streak with losses coming against the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers in their last game. Cade Cunningham led the team in points in that game with 22 while Saddiq Bey was next on the team with 20 points. Bojan Bogdanović and Jaden Ivey each led the team in assists in that game with 5 while Isaiah Stewart led the team in rebounds with 16. They were 38.9% from the field, 42.9% from 3-point range, and 76.7% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 111.3 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 121 PPG against them. The Pistons have an ATS record of 1-2 this season and their O/U record is 3-0.

The current betting odds have the Pistons listed as a 7 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pistons haven't looked very good in their last 2 games and they are on a back-to-back in this game, but they won their only game at home this season and will be looking for another win here after 2 straight losses. The Hawks haven't had a great start to their season either, they are 2-1 but they have struggled in their games especially on defense. They can score a lot of points in their games but they don't play defense very well and they give up a lot of points in turn. They were also terrible on the road last season with most of their wins coming at home and the Pistons are looking to snap their losing streak by staying undefeated at home here. The Pistons have a lot of young talent on their team and they will be a dangerous team once they find some chemistry on the floor. They should still be able to keep this game close at home here with the Hawks being such a bad road team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pistons to cover the spread in this game.
