It’s been a long week without the Atlanta Hawks in action but, on Friday evening, that lengthy break comes to an end. The team will be on the floor at Little Caesars Arena to take on the Detroit Pistons and, while that match-up did not look treacherous before the season, it certainly does now.
Andre Drummond and company enter the game on a three-game winning streak and the Pistons have emerged victorious in six of the past seven games. While it remains up for debate as to whether this level of play is sustainable for Detroit, the Hawks will need to build on what was an encouraging back-to-back against the Cavs and Celtics with more stellar play.
