Pistons vs Knicks Injury Report

The Pistons will be without Jaden Ivey. Isaiah Stewart is questionable with a knee injury, and he hasn’t played since game 1.

Mitchell Robinson is questionable for the Knicks with an illness. Robinson played only 17 games this season and 48 games the last two years, so the Knicks are used to being without him.

Pistons vs Knicks Prediction

I have no idea what to expect in this game, as this series has been all over the place and the last two games could’ve gone either way. The Pistons are at home and looked like they settled in late in game 3 despite the losing effort. This is a must-win for the Pistons if they’re going to win this series, and Harris is due for a bounce back game after a stinker his last time out.

I’m still concerned about the Knicks lack of depth and their starters logging heavy minutes. Robinson possibly being out only makes things thinner. While the Knicks have the talent and experience edge, the Pistons are too scrappy to go down this quietly. I’ll lay the bucket with the Pistons in game 4.
