Hawks vs Pistons NBA Preview
Action PRO projects Ausar Thompson for 12.2 points in the Pistons' matchup against the Hawks tonight, giving us a massive 25.7% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 9.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with an A+ grade in our system.
Thompson is averaging 9.9 points per game this season and will be facing an Atlanta defense that allows 116.9 points per game to opponents, ranking 18th in the NBA in that category.
He is also playing more minutes in a short Detroit rotation due to injuries to fellow guards Javonte Green and Marcus Sasser, who are listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively, for tonight's game.

Thompson has only surpassed this line in four of his past 10 games — but he will be playing at home tonight, where he thrives.
