Pistons vs Knicks prediction
The Knicks should be favored and should win this game, but this line is massive. The Knicks are still missing key players in Anunoby and Randle, and they’ve had issues at times over the last month finishing games. The Pistons are on the end of a back to back, and they’re not winning games, but they have 36 covers under their belt. The Pistons continue to compete, and you can make money with Detroit if you pick your spots. This line is inflated for some weird reason. Give me the Pistons and the boatload of points.
