Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks prediction
The New York Knicks obviously the ability to blow the doors off here at home, but they’ve also been in a funk lately, and they’re still down two of their best players in Randle and Anunoby. The Detroit Pistons aren’t winning games, but they continue to play hard and compete, and they’ve covered 6 of their last 10 games. The Pistons have quietly made bettors money over the last few weeks, and I’m just not looking to lay these big numbers with the banged up Knicks. Give me the points with the Pistons.
