Bet and win Tonight with MyBookie’s NBA Odds for the matchup between Knicks vs. Pistons

The NBA odds are a bit up in the air between Knicks vs. Pistons, as some key players could sit out this late in the regular season.

New York currently sits third in the Eastern Conference and can’t get any higher but could potentially be caught by No. 4 Indiana, which sits two games back as of this writing – but that’s highly unlikely.

Thus, the Knicks may just opt to rest players on Thursday, locked into their seed. The No. 3 seed would open the playoffs against the No. 6 seed.

And that’s where Detroit sits – and the Pistons will not slip to seven, as they lead No. 7 Orlando by four games. The Pistons have a slight chance of catching current No. 5 Milwaukee, which is two games ahead, but that’s unlikely.

Detroit first-year coach JB Bickerstaff has worked a near-miracle in Motown considering this team finished a franchise-worst 14-68 last season, which included a league-record tying 28-game losing streak.

That got Coach Monty Williams fired after one season, despite a contract worth a total of nearly $80 million.

Bickerstaff was fired by Cleveland despite leading the Cavs to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, and snapped up almost immediately by Detroit.

This is the final regular-season meeting between the Knicks and Pistons, with New York leading 2-1 and all-time up 222-178.

In Detroit, the Knicks trail 103-84 and have won eight straight in Motown.

Potential Letdown Game For Knicks

The Knicks had a two-game winning streak snapped Tuesday in a 119-117 home OT loss to Boston in a possible Eastern Conference Finals preview.

And after that massive game, I doubt that many key Knicks play on Thursday, with New York locked into its playoff seed.

Karl-Anthony Towns

“I thought we did a good job meeting their aggression. … Just an all-around better game, execution, it gave us a chance to win, but they’re a great team. Give them credit where credit is due. Defending champions did exactly what defending champions do.”

Towns now has 57 double-doubles this season, second in the NBA, and the most a Knick has had in a season since David Lee (65 in 2008-09).

Pistons Play Penultimate Home Game

Detroit entered needing four made 3-pointers to break their franchise record of 993 from the 2018-19 season, and they made 13.

Cade Cunningham

Cunningham recently missed about two weeks with a calf contusion, and Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said the fact that his team has already clinched a first-round berth will help his star get fully healthy for the playoffs.

“We’ve got some time, so that’s a good thing. It’s not something that we have to rush into,” he said. “The play-in week will be good for us also because we can take advantage of the conditioning without games to plan for … we’re in a great spot.”
