New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons Preview & Picks

Detroit are tipped to win Game 4 and level the series once again.

The Pistons were able to overcome a slow start last time out, but we expect a much stronger start from them here because a loss would leave them facing a ‘must-win’ trip to New York.

  • Detroit Pistons are 4-2 in the previous 6 meetings
  • Detroit Pistons are 4-0-0 ATS in their last 4 wins over New York
  • New York Knicks are 4-5 in their previous 9 road games
  • The Over has cashed in 6 of the previous 8 meetings

Head To Head

  • New York Knicks lead the all-time series 230-188
  • New York Knicks won 118-116 when the two teams last met on April 24

New York Knicks Form

New York go into this matchup with a 2-1 series lead and knowing that a victory will give them the chance to wrap up the series at home.

The Knicks enjoyed a winning start to the playoffs as they fought back to beat the Pistons 123-112 in the series opener.

They failed to follow that up in Game 2 though, as they lost 100-94 at the Garden in Game 2, but they issued the best possible response.

New York raced out of the blocks in their first road game of the postseason and held on for a 118-116 victory in Detroit.

The Knicks secured their playoff place by compiling a 51-31 record to finish third in the Eastern Conference standings.

Detroit Pistons Form

Detroit go into this home game in desperate need of a victory, after a home loss in Game 3 left them 2-1 down in the series.

The Pistons led in the fourth quarter of the opening game, only to throw away that lead as they were beaten 123-112 by the Knicks.

They rebounded in Game 2, getting ahead and finishing the job as they ran out 100-94 winners to not the series up at one win apiece.

However, Detroit failed to build on that in Game 3, falling to a 118-116 defeat at the hands of the Knicks.

The Pistons ended their playoff drought by putting together a 44-38 record to finish sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Verdict

Detroit need this home win and we are backing them to get the job done.

The Pistons do have a decent record against the Knicks and they have tended to cover the spread when beating New York.
