New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons Preview & Picks
Detroit are backed to take the lead for the first time in this series.
The Pistons have had the better of New York over the first two games, aside from a fourth-quarter collapse in Game 1, and that has been a continuation of the regular season trend.
- Detroit Pistons are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings
- Detroit Pistons are 4-1-0 ATS in the previous 5 meetings
- New York Knicks are 2-4 in their previous 6 games
- The Under has cashed in 8 of New York’s last 11 games

- Detroit Pistons won 100-94 when the two teams last met on April 21
New York Knicks Form
New York head out on the road for the first time in this series looking to rebound from a home defeat that has given Detroit the upper-hand.
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.
New York secured their playoff place by compiling a 51-31 record to finish third in the Eastern Conference standings.
This marks the third consecutive season that the Knicks have made it to the playoffs, and they made it past the first round in the previous two.
Detroit Pistons Form
Detroit return home in a strong position in this series, having rebounded from a Game 1 defeat with a huge road win in New York in Game 2.
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 though, getting ahead and finishing the job as they ran out 100-94 winners to not the series up at one win apiece.
Detroit ended their playoff drought by putting together a 44-38 record to finish sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.
That campaign was the Pistons’ first winning season since 2015/16 and ended their five-year absence from the NBA’s postseason.
Verdict
Detroit return home full of confidence after a couple of solid performances in New York.
The Pistons will be determined to mark their first home playoff game for several seasons with a win, and from what we have seen in recent meetings we expect them to deliver.
