Atlanta vs Detroit Prediction: Choosing the Hawks in High-Scoring Game

Atlanta and Detroit occupy sixth and seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Who will finish in the playoff zone at the end of the next game? We're offering a prediction for this game. We'll look at how the teams have been playing recently, the odds set by bookmakers, and pick a few betting options.

Atlanta

In the last game, the Hawks played against New York, whom they had beaten twice in the current championship. But Quin Snyder's team didn't manage to keep up their winning streak. The final score was 110-119. Trae Young did well, but the Hawks still lost. It should also be noted that Jaylen Johnson (11 points, 12 rebounds), who recently recovered from an injury, finished the game with a double-double.

So, Atlanta's winning streak was broken. Before the game with New York, the Hawks had beaten Phoenix 122-117 at home, and they had also beaten Chicago (110-94) and Boston (119-115 (104-104) in overtime) away. The team from Georgia now has an overall record of 22 wins and 20 losses, and is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Detroit

The Pistons won their last match. On the road, J.B. Bickerstaff's team stopped one of the Western Conference leaders, Houston, with a score of 107-96. Detroit showed excellent defense, allowing the other team to make only 19 assists, and also won the rebounds 52–39. The Pistons' top scorer was Cade Cunningham, who got 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.

This win has helped the team recover from two defeats in a row. Before the game in Houston, the Pistons had lost at home to Indiana (100-111) and Phoenix (121-125). The team from Michigan are still trying to get into the playoffs. They are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 22 wins and 21 losses. If they beat Atlanta, they will move up to sixth place.
