Little Caesars Arena will host NBA action once again when the Detroit Pistons take on the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. The Pistons (25-24) and the Hawks (22-27) are seventh and ninth respectively in the Eastern Conference. Let's get into the match prediction.

The Pistons have experienced a turnaround after three consecutive losses and are now in pursuit of a third straight victory following their win against the Chicago Bulls 127-119 on Saturday night. 

Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duran combined to post 43 points, 16 rebounds and 19 assists, while the team converted 55% of their 99 field attempts. 

The Pistons are in the middle of the scoring table, averaging 112.3 points per game (16th in the NBA), while allowing 113.3 PPG (17th overall). 

Meanwhile, the Hawks have had their wings clipped in recent matches, as their 132-127 loss to the Pacers on Saturday extended their winless streak to eight.

Trae Young was the standout performer on the night, accounting for over a quarter of the Hawks total score, firing 15 of his 34 points from beyond the arc while also finding 17 assists and three rebounds. 

The Hawks average 115.6 points per game (10th in the league), while falling short with the third-worst defence in the NBA (118.8 PPG).
