The Atlanta Hawks continue to tumble in the standings with the trade deadline looming. They'll carry an eight-game losing streak into their game at Detroit on Monday night.
Atlanta's outlook for the remainder of the season looks quite different than it did two weeks ago. In the Hawks' last victory, they won in overtime on Boston's home floor to move three games above the .500 mark. That was more than two weeks ago.
Not only have they fallen in the win-loss column, they lost one of their best players to a season-ending injury. The team announced Wednesday that Jalen Johnson would require surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder
The Pistons have won the first two contests of the four-game season series against the Hawks. All-Star Cade Cunningham recorded a triple-double and scored the game-winning basket in the first meeting, a 122-121 win on Nov. 8. He notched 29 points and 11 assists in a 114-104 Pistons win on Jan. 22.

Both teams were off Sunday after losing at home Saturday night. The Knicks fell to the Los Angeles Lakers 128-112 and the Rockets were upset by the Brooklyn Nets 110-98.
The end of New York's five-game winning streak was overshadowed by Anunoby's departure. He took a pass from Jalen Brunson on the wing but grimaced and went to his left knee after planting his right foot just beyond the 3-point line. He exited the game with 10:38 left in the third quarter and New York trailing 62-57.
Houston may also take the court with something less than its optimal lineup Monday night. The Rockets have lost two straight games without All-Star center Alperen Sengun, who suffered a left calf contusion in Tuesday night's 100-96 win over the Atlanta Hawks. He is listed as questionable for Monday's game.
Houston also lost point guard Fred VanVleet to a right ankle strain during the second quarter Saturday. The Rockets trailed 39-32 when VanVleet was hurt and were outscored 14-6 the remainder of the first half. They fell behind by as many as 22 points in the third quarter against the Nets, who won for just the fifth time in 20 games since Christmas. VanVleet was ruled out for Monday's contest.
Houston has missed the playoffs four straight times but entered Sunday tied for second place in the Western Conference with the Memphis Grizzlies. The Rockets have yet to lose three straight games this season.
