Current records: New York 9-11; Detroit 5-17
what to know
The Detroit Pistons have been on the wrong end of a one-way rivalry with the New York Knicks and are hoping to record their first win since April 10, 2019. Detroit will once again host and welcome New York to Little Caesars Arena, where the tip-off is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 pm ET. Both teams lost in their last game, so they will have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W’.
The Pistons fell just short against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, falling 102-94. Power forward Marvin Bagley III (19 points) and point guard Alec Burks (17 points) were Detroit’s leading scorers.
Meanwhile, New York was close but short on Sunday when they fell 127-123 to the Memphis Grizzlies. This is New York’s third straight heartbreak against Memphis following a 115-112 loss in October. Despite the loss, the Knicks got a solid performance from point guard Jalen Brunson, who had 30 points and nine assists to go along with five rebounds. The contest made it Brunson’s third straight with at least 30 points.
The Pistons are expected to lose the next one by 5. Those who play the odds have seen things come and go with Detroit, which is 11-10-1 against spread.
Detroit is now 5-17 while New York is 9-11. A couple of stats to keep in mind: Detroit is second worst in the league in fouls per game, averaging 23. The Knicks have experienced some difficulties of their own, as they are stumbling in the game with the third most fouls per game in the league, having amassed 22.6 on average. It is possible that one of these Achilles heels could end up tripping up the losing team.
