Knicks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 111, Pistons 103

Moneyline

Even though I expect the Knicks to win on the road, PASS on the moneyline in this contest. Taking New York (-200) straight up wouldn’t be worth the risk considering the lack of a profit you’d make if it secures a victory.

Against the spread

KNICKS -4.5 (-120) appears to be the ideal choice in this game given the current state of these squads. The entire starting lineup for the Pistons is either out or questionable to play Tuesday.

The Knicks are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 matchups with the Pistons. On top of that, New York is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 road meetings with Detroit.

Over/Under

With the Pistons likely being shorthanded, UNDER 225.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game. While New York is 15th in offensive rating, Detroit is 25th.

The Knicks have gone Under in each of their last 5 games against a team with a losing home record. The Under is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Knicks and the Pistons in Detroit.

New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and prediction

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

The New York Knicks (24-25) travel to the Motor City Saturday for an 8 p.m. ET game against the Detroit Pistons (14-34) at Little Caesars Arena. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Pistons odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

New York has slid to seventh in the Eastern Conference after losing three in a row (0-3 against the spread), including a 99-96 beatdown at home Friday by the Dallas Mavericks. Prior to this skid, the Knicks won three straight and are now 4-4 straight up in their last eight games (3-4-1 ATS).

Detroit boat raced the Washington Wizards 120-91 as a 1-point home favorite Thursday for its second win in the past three games. The Pistons are just 3-5 straight up in their last eight games but covered the spread in five of those contests.

The Knicks are 2-0 straight up and ATS in the season series with the Pistons—winning both games by double digits—heading into their final regular-season meeting.

Knicks at Pistons: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 102, Pistons 96

Money line (ML)

This is a game the KNICKS (-125) need as they fight for playoff positioning in the East and have back-to-back road games against the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics coming up next week.

That being said, this is clearly a “trap game” for New York, which explains this game’s pricing.

The Knicks hammered the Pistons earlier this season and nearly 90% of the money bet is on New York (according to Pregame.com), yet bookmakers are making the Knicks’ money line cheaper.

It makes sense given how poorly New York has played recently, but the Knicks have been a great bet this season against bad teams.

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, which removes garbage time stats, New York is 15-7 overall with the third-best ATS margin (plus-5.1 points) vs. teams in the bottom-10 of points per 100 possessions differential.

“LEAN” KNICKS (-125) for a half-unit.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS since New York’s money line is only 10 cents on the dollar more expensive than Knicks -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

This Knicks-Pistons game should be a “rock fight” as Detroit and New York are tied for 23rd in offensive rating.

Also, bookmakers know how bad New York’s offense is and how locked in defensively the Knicks are under first-year head coach Tom Thibodeau.

Still, New York is 18-31 O/U for the season and has played to the Under in eight of its last nine games.

BET UNDER 201.5 (-110) for 1 unit.

Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

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

The New York Knicks (18-18) host the Detroit Pistons (10-25) Thursday at Madison Square Garden for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Pistons-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Detroit snapped its 3-game losing streak last night in a 129-105 win over the Toronto Raptors as 7.5-point road underdogs in a game that was marred by COVID-related absences. The Pistons are 2-6 overall and 3-5 ATS in their previous eight games.

The Knicks were crushed by the San Antonio Spurs 119-93 Tuesday, which ended New York’s 3-game win streak. However, newly acquired Knicks guard Derrick Rose missed Tuesday’s game because of an inconclusive COVID-19 test.

Otherwise, New York is 7-3 overall and ATS in the last 10 games, including 109-90 beatdown of Detroit Sunday as 1-point road favorites. The Knicks have won and covered three straight against the Pistons.

Pistons at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 112, Pistons 98

Money line (ML)

PASS because New York is the right side, but the Knicks (-275) is too steep of a price for a straight-up win.

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

Against the spread (ATS)

The KNICKS -7 (-110) pummeled the Pistons last weekend, and Detroit’s leading scorer, and Most Improved Player frontrunner, Jerami Grant had a team-high 21 points on an inefficient 7-for-19 shooting performance.

Well, Grant is questionable, and if I’m reading the tea leaves, I’d assume the Pistons are going to sit Grant out their final game before the All-Star Break because what’s the incentive of playing him?

Detroit’s season is all but over while New York is flirting with a postseason berth and has to pile up wins against losing teams because of a tough second-half schedule.

Also, Grant’s absence would mean the Pistons will be without three starters, and they have far bigger injury concerns than the Knicks, who are deeper in the first place.

TAKE KNICKS -7 (-110) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight lean on the OVER 207.5 (-110) because the market has steamed this total down from a 210.5-point opener, which is a half-point off of my projected total.

According to Pregame.com, nearly 90% of the cash is on the Under in this spot and the market isn’t moving on new information the oddsmakers don’t have. Over the long haul, if you fade 90% of the betting public, you’ll win money as a sports gambler.

BET OVER 207.5 (-110) for a half-unit.
