Pistons vs Knicks Prediction
Just like the Cavs line yesterday with the Pistons, this number is disrespectful. I guess the Knicks are getting the love because they have the rest advantage, but they’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. Also, eight of the Knicks 12 losses this season have come o the road. The Pistons are 12-3 SU at home. This will be just the sixth time since April where the Pistons are a home dog. The Pistons are 2-1 SU and ATS as a home underdog this season. I don’t care that the Pistons are on the end of a back to back. I’ll gladly grab the free bucket on Monday night.
