New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Knicks are going to be shorthanded with Josh Hart, Mitchell Robinson, and OG Anunoby all ruled out, while the Pistons are keeping an eye on Isaiah Stewart, who is questionable with knee soreness. The Knicks come into this one as the team in better form, and they are still only slight underdogs despite being without two of their best players for this contest. The Pistons haven't been able to get anything going over the past five games, but they are coming in as the healthier team, and they should be well-rested as they haven't played since Monday.
