Pick
The New York Knicks have been covering machines on the road dating back to last season, and they’ve quietly played good ball these last few weeks. The Detroit Pistons look like a team that’s in full on tank mode, which includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 8.8 points and 8.1 points as underdogs. Like the last meeting between these clubs, the Knicks should run away with things. I’ll lay the chalk.
