    Hawks at Pistons Preview

    Scouting Report

    Mar 7, 2022; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (2) gets defended by Atlanta Hawks guard Delon Wright (0) during the third quarter at Little Caesars Arena.

    Sorry for the lack of content over the last 48 hours. Your boy was on his honeymoon in Miami, doing his best Rick Ross impersonation (Ugh!). What did I miss? I heard something about Trae Young destroying the Knicks once again.

    Anyhoo, tonight the Hawks are back at it on the road against the Pistons. If you'll remember, these two teams played just 16 days ago, and the Pistons stole the game in overtime. Since that game, the Hawks are 5-3 (without John Collins).

    On the flip side, the Pistons have lost 6 of their last 7 games and are polishing off a nice tank job. The Hawks have given people no reason to believe in them this year, but I'm of the belief they have finally turned it on for good. 

    That may not equate another deep playoff run like last year, but this team seems more locked in than ever. And unfortunately for the Pistons, that means they're going to catch the wrath of the Hawks tonight.

    Injury Report

    Mar 7, 2022; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (8) gets defended by Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (7) during the first quarter at Little Caesars Arena.

    The Pistons list Chris Smith (left knee sprain), Isaiah Livers (concussion), Frank Jackson (back spasms), Hamidou Diallo (left finger sprain as out). The Hawks just played last night, so no official injury report yet. But we know John Collins (finger/foot) is out. 

    Odds

    Mar 7, 2022; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (2) takes a shot over Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (13) and center Clint Capela (15) during the first quarter at Little Caesars Arena.

    SI Sportsbook lists the Hawks as 5.5-point favorites and the over/under is set at 227.5. Like I wrote earlier, I'm confident that the Hawks take this game with ease. They're building momentum just in time for the Play-In games.
