Pistons at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 122, Pistons 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks are surging, while the Pistons are reeling. New York is rightfully a massive favorite and unplayable to win outright.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

The Knicks have had their will against weaker opponents over the last week. Since Dec. 1, they have won 3 games. Those were a 33-point over the Pelicans, a 15-point win over the Magic and a 24-point win over the Hornets. New York has been throttling oppoents and is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 and 6-3 ATS in its last 9.

The Pistons started off the season hot but are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Detroit has started to struggle offensively, scoring more than 111 in just 2 of its last 7. Considering those trends, back KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 226.5 (-105).

The Pistons have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games, allowing at least 128 points in 2 straight. They have given up at least 111 in 7 of their last 9.

The Knicks have been surging offensively, scoring 121.3 points per game over their last 3. They have allowed at least 118 in 4 of their last 8. New York is 4-2 O/U in its last 6.

Play OVER 226.5 (-105).

Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Pistons (12-59) visit the New York Knicks (42-28) on Monday. Tip from Madison Square Garden is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. Knicks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Knicks lead 2-0

Detroit has lost 6 games in a row after falling 114-101 to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday while covering as a 15-point home underdog. F Chimezie Metu and G Malachi Flynn each scored 17 points while C James Wiseman had a double-double (15 points, 11 rebounds). The Pistons shot 40.5% from the field in the loss.

New York got back in the win column with a 105-93 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday to cover as a 7.5-point home favorite. G Donte DiVincenzo scored a game-high 31 points while all 5 Knicks who scored in double figures had at least 17 points. The Knicks shot 43.3% from the field.

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.

Detroit is 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in its last 4 games.

Pistons at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 115, Pistons 100

Moneyline

PASS.

Knicks (-370) ML is too high of a price to pay for a team that has a losing record. The Knicks will probably win, but I will only be playing the spread and the total.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -8.5 (-108).

The Knicks have dominated the Pistons in recent years and will be extra focused coming off of an embarrassing loss at the G Kyrie Irving-less Nets. The Pistons have underperformed on the road all season (1-5 ATS) and are in a bad spot here against an extra-motivated New York team. Lay the points with the Knicks in a favorable bounce-back spot.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).

The Under is 4-1 in Detroit’s last 5 games and 4-1 in New York’s last 5 games. Neither team has been impressive offensively and the Knicks should tighten up defensively after a bad loss at the Nets. I expect Detroit to struggle Friday and help the Under hit at MSG.

Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Pistons (1-0) visit Madison Square Garden Friday to take on the New York Knicks (0-1). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. Knicks odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Pistons come into this battle having covered as 3.5-point favorites in a 113-109 victory over the Orlando Magic in their home opener Wednesday. This will be their first road game of the season.

While Detroit did come out on top, it concerningly shot worse from the field and lost the rebounding edge. G Cade Cunningham also picked up where he left off last season, shooting just 6-for-16 from the field for 18 points.

New York went into Memphis and took the Grizzlies to overtime in its first action of the season Wednesdays. The Knicks ultimately fell to the Griz 115-112 as 4.5-point underdogs.

New York ended up having 6 players hit double figures in scoring with F Julius Randle leading the way with 24 points and 11 rebounds, both team-highs.

Pistons at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 112, Pistons 104

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Knicks to rebound well and come out on top in this Eastern Conference battle, but there just isn’t value on backing them at (-300).

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -6.5 (-117).

The Pistons home win over Orlando, which is started out down double figures early, was more about the Magic’s young core than Detroit’s dominance.

The Pistons shot worse and were outrebounded Wednesday and against a much bigger Knicks team with veterans like Randle, New York should be able to punish the Pistons’ inefficiencies defensively.

Also, G Jalen Brunson looked like the missing piece, putting up an efficient 15 points and 9 assists in his Knicks debut. The playmaking he adds coupled with the paint protection by C Mitchell Robinson should be enough to limit the Pistons in this one.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 219.5 (-108).

The New York offense is going to have some chemistry issues early on in the season, and that was clearly seen against Memphis. The Knicks shot just 40.4% from the field and 24.3% from deep.

New York had 18 offensive boards yet wasn’t great on the offensive glass last season. Expecting some regression there, the Knicks could struggle to score.

They did hold Memphis to 38.9% shooting, and the Pistons do not have a Morant-like talent. New York’s ability to control the paint will be a big enough factor to assume the Pistons will struggle to score.

Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Pistons (5-24) travel to Madison Square Garden Tuesday to take on the New York Knicks (13-17). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Pistons vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Knicks enter this matchup with Detroit desperately needing a win. They’ve lost 5 of their last 6. They’re just 12-18 against the spread, the third-worst ATS record in the NBA.

New York sits in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. Their opponent, the Pistons, are last in the conference.

However, they’re 14-15 ATS and 7-7 ATS as road underdogs. The Pistons’ top scorer, Jerami Grant, will remain out. Detroit is coming off a 100-90 home victory over a short-handed Miami.

Pistons at Knicks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 108, Pistons 101

Money line

PASS on the money line.

I like the Knicks to win this game, but they’ve been an embarrassment at times this season and are just 5-10 at home. Similarly, the Pistons have, by far, the worst record over their last 10 games, just 1-9.

I’d pass.

Against the spread

Slight “LEAN” to the PISTONS +6.5 (-107). It’s getting the juice here, so the sportsbooks favor this side as well.

The Pistons are starting to find an identity without Grant. On the season, Detroit is the second-worst shooting team, but over its last five, it is just two spots behind New York.

With the Knicks defensive having slumped, the reason they aren’t the same covering team as last season and their many players in health and safety protocols, I wouldn’t bet on them to win by this margin.

The Knicks’ strength is their offensive rebounding, ranking 9th. While Detroit isn’t a top-tier rebounding side, it does rank 20th which is higher than it ranks in most other metrics.

Given New York is down most of its bench and a key scorer while Detroit is just down a key scorer, I’ll roll with the healthier side.

Over/Under

BET on the OVER 207.5 (-108) as the Knicks have struggled defensively. New York sits 23rd in defensive rating while Detroit is 22nd.

While the Pistons aren’t a great shooting team, they have topped three digits in 7 of their last 8 games.

Similarly, the Knicks have a couple of lethal scorers and have added Kemba Walker back into the rotation due to the health and safety protocols limiting their player availability.

The Knicks have topped 100 points in 4 of their last 7 and have notched over 105 in two straight.

New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New York Knicks (17-17) stop by the Little Caesars Arena Sunday for an 8 p.m. ET game against the Detroit Pistons (9-24). Below, we analyze the Knicks-Pistons odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks have won back-to-back games and three of their last four entering Sunday. New York is one of the surprising teams so far this season and has a chance to end the month with a winning record after beginning it 9-13. The Knicks are 8-5 in February with an average score of 109.2-105.3.

Detroit’s season is nearing tank-mode as the Pistons have lost two straight and five of their last six games. The Pistons returned home after a five-game road trip in their last game only to lose to a Sacramento Kings team that was on a nine-game losing streak.

New York has won and covered two in a row against Detroit, and both games fell short of the total by at least 24 points.

Knicks at Pistons: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 111, Pistons 104

Money line (ML)

Situationally, this is a terrible spot for the KNICKS (-105) as New York played last night, and this will be its fourth game in six nights. Detroit has a winning ATS record, and the robotic sharp play is to fade an unproven Knicks team that could be on tired legs.

However, there’s real excitement around this Knicks team with Julius Randle getting selected to his first All-Star team, and if the Knicks win this game, they’ll be above .500 this deep into the season for the first time in years.

There are a lot of fair questions about New York’s legitimacy as a playoff contender, but the Knicks are on fire, and I’d rather follow that momentum than fade it. BET the KNICKS (-105) for 1.5 units.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS unless the number gets bet up to the Knicks +2.5. Despite the rest factor, there are a couple of ATS trends that support New York in this spot including the Knicks covering seven of their last eight against losing teams and the Pistons being 0-4 ATS in their last four as a favorite.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight lean on the Over 210.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit, but I much prefer the sides over the total in Knicks-Pistons. But, this total opened at 215 for a reason, and I am nervous this game will bust several of the Under trends both teams have.
