Atlanta’s downfall can be attributed to its injury situation. Unfortunately, there’s no end in sight. Starting small forward Jalen Johnson is out for the season, while starting center Clint Capela didn’t even travel with the team. To make matters worse, Trae Young is expected to play, but is dealing with an Achilles issue.
Those three are three of the four highest rated Hawks by PER. Johnson is the team’s leading rebounder, and ranks second in scoring and assists. He also logs the second most minutes on the team, and Atlanta’s results without him have been dreadful. The Hawks have not won a game since Johnson went down last month, and are 4-9 overall when he sits.
Over the last 10 games, Atlanta ranks 27th in offensive rating and 24th in net rating. Detroit on the other hand, ranks middle of the pack in those areas over the same stretch, and are fresh off back-to-back wins.
The Pistons took down Dallas and Chicago over the weekend, winning by 8+ points in both games. They’re getting fantastic production from Cade Cunnigham, more on him later, and are a perfect 2-0 already against the Hawks this season.
Detroit shot 50% from the field in both of those matchups, and with Capela and Johnson already ruled out, the Pistons should be efficient once again. Atlanta ranks 28th in scoring defense this season, and have surrendered the fourth highest effective field goal percentage.

Back to Cunningham, who deserves recognition as a longshot NBA MVP odds contender. We’re targeting over 37.5 points+assists for him tonight, a number he’s cleared in five of his last six outings. He’s put up 11+ assists in both meetings against the Hawks this season, and he’s got a legit 40-point ceiling.
He put up 40 on Friday night, after accomplishing the feat in early January as well. This Hawks team is in shambles, and the lack of bodies has forced them to elevate their pace. Atlanta ranks first in pace over the last 10 games. More pace equals more possessions, and that means more opportunity for Cunningham to shine.
Pick: Cade Cunningham Over 37.5 Points + Assists (-115) at Caesars
