The Atlanta Hawks (22-20) and the Detroit Pistons (22-21) will meet at State Farm Arena in Thursday's NBA action. The Hawks are sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the Pistons are seventh. Here's our match prediction. 

Despite starting the game strong, the Atlanta Hawks weren't able to evade a 119-110 loss against the New York Knicks on the road.

Trae Young led the team with 27 points, had 3 rebounds, and dished out 6 dimes while De'Andre Hunter chipped in 22 points.

That result saw their three-game winning streak come to an end and will aim to regain their momentum in this encounter this time at home where they are currently on a four-match winning streak. 

The Detroit Pistons, on the other hand, had a great deal of luck as they against all odds defeated the Houston Rockets 107-96 on the road. This saw them move back above .500 in the East. 

Cade Cunningham had a great game as he led the team with a massive 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Jalen Duren poured 16 points and had 14 rebounds.

Thanks to that deserved win, the Pistons ended a two-match losing streak and have an 8-3 record in their last 11 outings. Away from home, they've recorded three consecutive wins and will be a tough opponent to overcome.
