BETTING TRENDS

Atlanta are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games.

Atlanta are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games on the road.

Detroit are 12-1-2 ATS in their last 15 games.

Detroit are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.

Prediction

The Pistons have lost 6 of their last 7 games and are winning only the 31% of the time at home. The Hawks have struggled on the road all season, they're 13-22 and 11-24 ATS away from home. However this spread seems easy to cover against one of the worst teams in the league. Give me the Hawks.
