Knicks vs Pistons Prediction
The Pistons and free points are always attractive, especially when they’re undefeated SU and ATS through three games. However, the Knicks are desperate for a win, and they’re at home. The Pistons will be without Duran while Joe and Thompson are questionable. If the Knicks can’t take advantage of the banged-up Pistons, it might be time to look at the champs with a little side eye. The winner of the last 10 meetings between the Knicks and Pistons has also covered the number. This line feels soft. Give me the healthier, more desperate team at home. I’ll lay the points with the Knicks.
