Pistons vs. Hawks Preview: Game Time, TV Details, and Betting Odds

The Detroit Pistons have reversed course since a rough stretch after the All-Star break. They lost four straight for the first time this season and lost guard Cade Cunningham.

Since then, Detroit has won seven of eight games. That run includes three consecutive wins without Cunningham. The latest victory came against the Los Angeles Lakers, who had been the hottest team in the league.

Game details

Game Time is 7 p.m. ET. The matchup takes place at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

TV Details include ESPN and the FanDuel Sports Network Detroit. Local viewers can use those channels to watch.

Betting Odds favor the Pistons by 2 points. Bettors should note the slim margin.

Hawks form and strengths

The Atlanta Hawks have been red-hot. They have won 13 of their last 14 games.

In that span, their defense has been the stingiest in the league. They also rank near the top in rebounding percentage.

The Hawks force more turnovers than any team during this stretch. That creates transition opportunities and easy paint buckets.

Offensively, the trio of Jalen Johnson, CJ McCollum, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker leads the attack. Their scoring allows teammates to emphasize defense.

Matchup keys

Ball security will be crucial. Atlanta converts turnovers into points at a high rate.

Detroit must limit careless plays to protect its win streak. The Pistons have struggled with turnovers at times.

Daniss Jenkins is expected to replicate his strong performance against the Lakers. His play will matter for Detroit’s chances.
