PREVIEW: The Detroit Pistons bring a 10-game winning streak into a road matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks, winners of five straight. Detroit ranks first in high-frequency attacking at the rim while also posting the second-best defense against such shots, though they rank 28th in three-point volume and efficiency. The Pistons enter as slim 1-point favorites in this Eastern Conference clash. The team's surge has been fueled by its defensive strength, with the Pistons owning the league's fourth-best defense and allowing just 112.1 points per game. Atlanta counters with elite offensive spacing and passing, ranking first in both categories, while their defense against rim attacks sits at third in the league. In the nine games that star point guard Trae Young has been sidelined, the Hawks have gone 7-2 while playing like one of the ten best teams in the NBA. The Hawks should also be the fresher side, with Detroit on the second night of a back-to-back and Atlanta coming in with a full day of rest. Despite these strengths, both Atlanta's offensive and defensive rebounding rank near the bottom of the league, a potential weakness that could prove critical down the stretch.
