The Atlanta Hawks are back in action tonight on the road against an improved Detroit Pistons team. Over the past few seasons, Detroit has arguably been the worst team in the NBA, but that appears to have changed.

The Pistons hired former Cavaliers head coach JB Bickerstaff this offseason and upgraded their roster with veteran additions such as Tim Hardaway Jr. and Tobias Harris and it has paid off so far. The Pistons are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA early in the season and the Hawks will need to play a good game tonight if they want to get a win on the road.

Looking at tonight’s game, what are the three best bets?

1. Tim Hardaway Jr on 12.5 points (-108) and on 4+ made three (+210)C

The Hawks are the worst team in the NBA when it comes to defending the three-point shot and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Hardaway Jr got hot and hit multiple three-pointers in this game. He’s exceeded that total in the last three games and in six of Detroit’s nine games this year.

2. Clint Capela on 7.5 rebounds (-142)

Capela hasn’t been the rebounding machine he was in the past, but I think tonight is a good game for him to surpass that number. With Jalen Duren doubtful tonight for Detroit, I think Capela could approach double-digit rebounds tonight.

3. Trae Young over 10.5 assists (+100)

Young averages per game and any time you can get more money for Young to get at least 11 assists, I’ll take it. Young is one of the best passers and shot creators in the league and I think he has a good chance to rack up the assists tonight.
