Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks will clash in a high-stakes Game 6 of this best-of-seven series on Thursday night at the Little Caesars Arena. This series has been about as even as it gets after the Pistons took Game 5 in New York to force Game 6. They narrowly won 106-103 in New York on Tuesday night and will want to even out this series with a home win. Cade Cunningham was once again at the center of Detroit’s success, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. 

Ausa Thomsom and Tobias Harris added 22 and 17 points, respectively, for the visitors. A win at home for the Pistons will set up an exciting clash at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. The Pistons will be looking to stay alive in this tournament, as they appear in the playoffs for the first time since 2019. However, the Knicks will also want an early rest before a possible clash with Boston.

Our Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks Prediction

The Knicks will come into this matchup as the slight -103 betting underdogs. This physical Round 1 series is already taking a toll on their health, with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart forced to the sidelines late in the fourth quarter. 

The duo should, however, be back for this matchup as the Knicks fight to avoid a Game 7 rematch at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks also have an impressive record against the Pistons, winning five of their last six clashes in Detroit. Note that the Pistons have lost their previous nine NBA playoff games at home since 2008. We expect a thrilling match, with the Knicks edging out the Pistons. 

Our prediction for Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks: Under 213.5 total points.
