New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction NBA Picks 11/1/24

The New York Knicks pay a visit to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Friday night. Here’s a New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction. This article will include a New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons Pick.

The New York Knicks have been in decent form as they’ve split their first four games and they will be hoping to build some momentum after outlasting the Heat in a 116-107 road win on Wednesday. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 44 points and 13 rebounds on 17 of 25 shooting, Jalen Brunson added 22 points with nine assists, Mikal Bridges scored 17 points with six assists while Josh Hart tallied 10 points with 14 rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Knicks shot 48 percent from the field and 18 of 40 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Heat in the first half, but they caught fire with 35 points in the third quarter thanks to some hot shooting from Towns and turned a 13-point deficit into a 12-point lead to earn the gritty road win. The Knicks will meet the Rockets and Hawks after this game.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons will be feeling much better as they were finally able to get into the win column this season with a 105-95 upset victory over the 76ers on Wednesday. Jaden Ivey led the team in scoring with 23 points on nine of 17 shooting, Cade Cunningham added 22 points with seven assists, Tobias Harris scored 18 points with 14 rebounds and Tim Hardaway Jr chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Pistons shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 36 from the 3-point line, but while they looked good on offense, this win was more about their defense as they were always in control after holding the 76ers to just 19 points in the second quarter. In fact, the Pistons led in this game by as many as 21 points before the 76ers rallied late to keep the final scores close. The Pistons will face the Nets following this one.

The Knicks are still missing a few players with Mitchell Robinson still ruled out and Karl-Anthony Towns listed as questionable, while the Pistons are still playing without Ausar Thompson. The Knicks are obvious road favorites in this one, but they could be missing their big man, and the Pistons are actually coming into this one off a decent win over the 76ers. Still, the line is short enough for me to take the Knicks to get another win and cover on the road.
