Knicks at Pistons picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 121, Pistons 109
Moneyline
The Pistons rank 29th in opponent points per game and opponent shooting percentage. Their offense isn't much better, ranking 25th in shooting percentage. But obviously -260 is too high to play so you should PASS.
Against the spread
The Knicks after a day of rest have covered in 5 of their last 6 games. The Pistons, on the other hand, are 0-4 ATS on 1-day rest.
On top of that, the Knicks are surprisingly a better team on the road. They have covered in 25 of the last 32 road games. Detroit is just 1-5 against the spread when facing a team with a winning road record.
BET KNICKS -6.5 (-115).
