The Atlanta Hawks will be on the road to take on the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, March 23rd.
The tip-off is set for 7:00 ET from Little Caesars Arena.
The Hawks started off as a 6.5 point favorite and that number is now down to 5.5. The total has gone from 222.5 to 225.5.
Atlanta Hawks
Boy, it certainly has not been the season the Hawks were looking for. They have looked like a total shell of themselves.
This team has a 2-2 record in their last four games. I know that is a short sample, but that has pretty much what their season has been: trading wins and losses and not having all that much consistency to their play.
After they made it to the conference finals last year, expectations certainly formed for this group and people thought they could take even another step forward, but that clearly has not been the case.
One reason you can point to their struggles is the fact that the rest of the East is a lot better this year, especially the top dogs. Boston had a down year last year, but they are very much back in the mix and then you cannot forget the emergence of teams like Chicago and Cleveland during this season.
Atlanta beat the New York Knicks on Tuesday by a score of 117-111. They will look to carry that over into their game with the Pistons on Wednesday evening.
Trae Young had a monster game in the win over New York with 45 points and 8 assists. Even in a year in which Atlanta has not played great ball, he continues to be an issue for the Knicks.
Detroit Pistons
It has been a pretty consistent theme throughout the 2021-2022 season for the Pistons. They have done a whole lot of losing, but I do not feel all that many people are surprised by that.
Right now, this group has a record of 19-53. However you try and slice that, it does not look all that great for them.
Although they are not showing it in terms of wins and losses, this team does have some talent on their roster, which is a positive sign for their future. Cade Cunningham, who they drafted with the first overall pick in ’21 is looking impressive to go along with some other pieces on this club. Still, they have a lot of work to do if they wish to make real improvement.
Detroit picked up a frustrating loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday by a score of 119-115. There are not many games this team is expected to win, but that was one they should have gotten.
The main reason their last loss is so frustrating is because they did not go up against a fully loaded Portland team. Given the players they rolled out there, those are ones you must take advantage of.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Analysis:
Atlanta did what they had to do in New York against a team that is not good and they will get another chance at that when they are in Detroit.
I am curious to see how Atlanta comes out in this one on the second night of a back-to-back. There is always the possibility they could be flat, but they cannot afford that at this part of the season.
Even though Detroit is not the better team here, they have given some talented teams trouble before. They will look to keep that up on Wednesday evening.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Pistons ATS
I know that the covering the spread streak ended for the Pistons a few days ago, but that does not mean I do not like them here.
Detroit may not win this game, but I do feel they can be competitive and keep it close with this Atlanta club.
