A potential first round playoff matchup at the Little Caesars Arena sees the Detroit Pistons hosting the New York Knicks on Thursday. The Pistons currently occupy sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 43-36 record while the Knicks sit third at 50-29. Here’s our match prediction!
The Pistons have completed an impressive turnaround after winning just 14 games last season. They’ve guaranteed themselves of at least a spot in the top six, meaning that they will return to the playoffs for the first time since 2019.
Detroit still has a chance at moving up a spot as they trail the fifth-place Bucks by two games.
The hosts come into this contest off the back of a 127-117 home loss to the Kings on Monday. It was their second loss in a row and their fourth from the last five. Detroit will be hoping they can put an end to their cold streak before the postseason starts.
The Knicks will enter the playoffs as at least the third seed and they hold a two-game lead over the Pacers in fourth. New York fell to a tough 119-117 overtime loss to the Celtics on Tuesday, snapping a two-game winning streak.
Things have been going well overall for the visitors in recent weeks though, as they have won seven of their last 10.

Our Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks Prediction
There’s a bit of added incentive here as these two teams could very well be seeing each other in the first round of the playoffs. The Knicks have recently welcomed back star point guard Jalen Brunson but will be without Josh Hart, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson here. The Pistons, meanwhile, have Cade Cunningham listed as probable on the injury report.
The Pistons have gotten the better of the Knicks in their last two meetings, which should have New York pretty fired up for some revenge here. Our Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks prediction: Knicks to win.
If your team in the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
