The Pistons have been one of the best teams in the league this season, with an impressive 10-2 home record this year. They are 100% healthy for this matchup and haven’t played since Saturday night last week. Detroit has been one of the most consistent teams on both ends of the court this season.

Tonight, the Atlanta Hawks (13-10) host Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (15-6) at State Farm Arena. Anytime a player of Jokic’s caliber comes to town, the spotlight will be brighter, and the three-time MVP is having another spectacular season. Injuries to his supporting cast will mean the Hawks may have a chance to pull off the upset, but fading a player of Jokic’s caliber is never a fun proposition.

These two teams have met once before this season, with the Hawks beating Los Angeles 105-102 in LA to kick off a four-game road win streak. James Harden posted a 35 point triple double in that matchup, and will be the Hawks primary focus on the defensive end tonight.

The Hawks (13-8) wrap up a short two-game road trip with a visit to Little Caesars Arena in Detroit to take on the Pistons (16-4). The Pistons have been the surprise team of the season this year, building a nice lead at the top of the Eastern Conference while trailing only the 20-1 Thunder leaguewide. It is hard to imagine this team on a record-setting 28-game losing streak two years ago, as they are reaping the rewards of a patient rebuild.

by Spencer Toth - 11/28/2025

Tonight, the Atlanta Hawks (11-8, 1-2 in the NBA Cup) host the Cleveland Cavaliers (12-7, 2-1 in the NBA Cup). The Cavaliers still have a shot at qualifying for the knockout stages of the NBA Cup, but will need to not only win but win big against Atlanta to do so. The Cavaliers have been incredibly banged up in recent weeks, as Darius Garland, De’Andre Hunter, Jarrett Allen, and Lonzo Ball have all missed at least four games this year.

by Jeremy Block - 11/24/2025

For the most part, NBA players are jacks-of-all-trades, capable of doing a little bit of everything and thriving as role players.

Points, assists, and rebounds may dominate the debates over who’s truly great, but they don't always tell the full story.
