The reigning champion Knicks are 0-3 and sit 13th in the East after three straight defeats. Detroit, by contrast, leads the conference at 3-0 after beating Boston at home and Miami and Philadelphia on the road. Madison Square Garden hosts the first meeting between the sides since the Pistons won there in February. Check out our Knicks vs Pistons match prediction.
The Pistons have outscored opponents by 38 points in three games, averaging 118.3 points and conceding 105.7. They shoot 47.3% from the field and collect 52 rebounds a game. Last season's 60 wins and top seed in the East say this start is no fluke.
New York has had the opposite problem. The Knicks score only 101.7 points a game on 40.7% shooting, and they have been outscored by 19. Two of the three defeats came at the Garden, 106-100 to the 76ers and 111-102 to the Magic. And the head-to-head only deepens that problem.
Detroit beat the Knicks 121-90 in January, 118-80 in February and 126-111 at the Garden shortly after, an 84-point combined margin. What’s more, the Pistons have won their last three visits to New York, including 100-94 and 106-103 in the 2025 playoffs. Add three straight road wins and Detroit are the side to beat here.
