Our New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

New York is the favorite in the game, which feels a bit strange considering that Detroit has been the best team in the Eastern Conference all season. The Pistons will be without Jalen Duren in this game due to suspension. That being said, Detroit has still been one of the best road teams this season, having posted a record of 18-7 up to this point. 

New York, on the other hand, is 21-7 at home this season and is coming off a massive win over Philadelphia last week. That being said, Detroit has been consistent enough to believe they can keep this game close. For that reason, our New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons prediction is: Detroit Pistons +4.5.

Prediction:

 

Detroit Pistons +4.5
