Pistons at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 115, Pistons 97
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no way to put money on New York (-2000), 7-3 in its last 10 games, to beat injury-ridden Detroit (+950), a team that is 3-7 in its last 10 and 5-28 on the road this season.
Against the spread
LEAN KNICKS -16.5 (-110).
The Knicks are 6-3-1 ATS, including 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites and 3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home. The Pistons have faced destruction in their lineup by way of injury and are without many starters and key players. While 16.5 points is a large margin, the Knicks have home court advantage and are nearly healthy heading into Monday’s game.
Over/Under
BET OVER 206.5 (-110).
While both teams have struggled against the Over in the last 10 games (each going 3-7), 206.5 is a low enough total that the Knicks will be able to carry the load.
Detroit has scored 101 or more in each of its last 3 games and 8 of its last 10 while giving up at least 114 in 4 straight games. New York has scored 100 or more points in 5 of its last 6 games while giving up at least 112 in 2 of its last 3.
