Hawks – Pistons picks and predictions

Forecast

Pistons 120, Hawks 116

Money line

BET PISTONS (-105).

The key here is efficiency. Both teams are led by guards, but the Pistons have been much more effective this season. Their top three guards are shooting 47% or better from the field, with Young shooting 38.4%.

The Pistons have picked up the pace lately and have won 2 of their last 3, even beating the Lakers, who should be a serious team this season. Atlanta has won 2 of its last 3 but lost on the road to the Washington Wizards and is 1-2/ATS on the road.

Given these trends, back PISTONS (-105).

Anti-spread

PASS.

The money line and the spread are so similar in this case that it is truly a difficult task. The thinking behind avoiding the spread is that playing straight for the Pistons to win is better than seeing them as slight underdogs with worse odds.

However, this scenario can be played either way.

More/less

RATE MORE THAN 225.5 (-115).

The Hawks play at one of the fastest tempos in the league and play virtually no defense, which is why they have an 8-1 O/U record. They were victorious in all three away matches, scoring at least 111 points in each and 128 or more in two of the three.

The Pistons are 2-7 but are 2-2 at Little Caesars Arena and have scored 109 or more points in 3 of 4 home games. With both teams having a lot of talented guards, you can expect a fast pace and strong results.

Back OVER 225.5 (-115).
