(NBA) Detroit vs. Atlanta, 01/19/2015 9:30 AM, Score: 82 - 93
Point Spread: 8.50 | -110.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
Detroit and Atlanta have been two play-on teams. But the spot and line value clearly favor the Pistons in this matchup.




The Pistons catch the Hawks in action for the fifth time in seven days and returning home for this holiday matchup after a hugely successful four-game road trip where they defeated the 76ers, Celtics, Raptors and Bulls.




The Hawks are playing outstanding, but so is Detroit. The Pistons have won 11 of their last 13 games going 10-3 ATS. One of those defeats came at home, 106-103, to the Hawks 10 days ago. That was the first time the Pistons lost since getting rid of Josh Smith.




The Pistons have won and covered their last seven road games, posting victories against the Spurs, Mavericks and Raptors during this span.




Detroit can hang tight with Atlanta on the road especially given the Hawks' fatigue and situational disadvantages.
