After a couple of promising performances against the Kings and Nets in losses, the Pistons have been blown out in their last two games by the Jazz and 76ers respectively. The Pistons were not competitive in either game as their defense continues to be a huge problem.

The Pistons will be facing a Hawks team that hasn’t quite taken off to the upper parts of the standings in the Eastern Conference after acquiring Dejounte Murray in the offseason. They come into this game 16-16 with some internal issues that have gotten out to the public recently.
