Detroit has won five games in a row heading into their road game against Atlanta. Can J.B. Bickerstaff's team overcome the home court advantage and keep that winning streak going? Check out our free prediction for this game. We'll look at the chances of the opponents winning, check out statistical trends, and pick out a few betting options.

Atlanta

The Hawks are coming off a home game against Orlando after a break in the regular season. Quin Snyder's team were the underdogs going into this match, and that ended up being spot on.Atlanta got off to a solid start, leading by 17 points in the second quarter, but by the end of the first half, the opposition had made a comeback and pulled ahead 108-114.

So, Atlanta has now had two losses in a row. Before the All-Star Weekend, the Hawks lost to New York (148:149 (137:137) in overtime). Atlanta is currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 26-30 record, and it's pretty much guaranteed they'll be in the play-in round. But let's be honest, it's going to be a real challenge for the Hawks to crack the top-6, given their recent form.

Detroit

Meanwhile, the Pistons had their first away game after the restart against San Antonio, who've lost Victor Vembanyama for the rest of the season due to health issues. J.B. Bickerstaff's team took advantage of their problems and won 125-110. Detroit has now won five games in a row. Earlier, the Pistons beat Chicago twice away (132-92 and 128-110), and on their home court they beat Philadelphia (125-112) and Charlotte (112-102). In the East, Detroit is close to the playoff zone with a 30-26 record, and is 3.0 wins ahead of seventh-place Orlando, which currently holds a 3.0 win lead.
