The Hawks have been solid themselves recently, although there have been moments where they have struggled for consistency.</p> <p>Now, what does the recent head-to-head tell us? That this game isn’t one that Atlanta tends to enjoy. In the last five meetings, the Hawks have only managed to win two of them. One was at home, while the other was on the road.</p> <p>To give us a more informed overview of what could happen, let’s consider the three matches played last season:</p> <ul> <li>Feb 2025: Hawks 143-148 Pistons</li> <li>Feb 2025: Pistons 132-130 Hawks</li> <li>Jan 2025: Hawks 104-114 Pistons</li> </ul> <p>Each of these games were relatively close in terms of scorelines, which is something that bettors could consider when looking for additional betting value. Indeed, the other two matches in the last five to be played were also very close, with 122-121 (Pistons win) and 121-113 (Hawks victory) occurring.</p> <h2>Atlanta Hawks vs Detroit Pistons: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>With the game likely to be extremely close, our Atlanta Hawks vs Detroit Pistons betting predictions will focus on player prop markets. When pushed, we’re<strong> predicting the Pistons to win</strong>, but the<strong> handicap market</strong> may be the value play here.</p> <p>Still, <strong>Cade Cunningham</strong> is the main man for the Pistons, and a player we’d keep an eye on. He has averaged 27.5 points this season, and we think he’ll <strong>score 30+ points</strong> in this game, having achieved that twice in the three games he played last season.</p> <p>Trae Young was the difference in the game that the Hawks won, but he is out for the rest of November at least.<strong> Jalen Johnson</strong> is worth a shot at the <strong>double-double market</strong> for the Hawks as he continues to perform well in the star’s absence.</p>
