The Detroit Pistons have one of the best frontcourts in the NBA, but they will be playing in a back-to-back against a talented Atlanta team The Hawks have a very talented young duo with Collins and Young, but they added to their young talent by drafting De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish. The Hawks will have a ton of offensive production on the court, and they will look to make their games high-scoring affairs which is why they should win against the Pistons as they don’t have that same production.
