The Detroit Pistons will try to end a seven-game slide when they visit Atlanta Thursday night. The schedule has not been kind though, and I think they'll get the better of the Hawks tonight. Atlanta has covered the spread in four straight and six of its last seven games and I think the linemakers have overreacted to that fact, not giving the Hawks enough points tonight. Detroit beat Atlanta 111-104 at home on Nov. 10 and I predict a similar result in favor of the Pistons in this encounter.

My selection is an 8* play on Detroit Pistons.
