If it seems like forever since the Pistons faced the Hawks, it’s because it has been. This is the last time these two teams will face off this season and the first time they have done so in 2024.
The Pistons generally play the Hawks pretty tough, as evidenced by their 6 point losses in the previous two matchups this season. However, the Pistons are yet to face this version of the Hawks, who have been playing much better since Trae Young went down with an injury.
It could be entirely coincidental, but they are trending up at the right time as they work to lock in their spot in the Play-In Tournament.
