The New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons clash in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks earned the No.3 seed in the East after finishing their regular-season campaign with a 51-31 record. New York has a top-heavy starting five led by All-Star Karl Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. However, their depth has been under scrutiny all season long, along with their inability to consistently produce wins over top-tier opponents.
The Pistons returned to the postseason for the first time since 2019. Detroit’s resurgence this season is credited to the emergence of Cade Cunningham as a bona fide star and an outstanding defense that had ranked inside the top-10 throughout the season.

Our Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks Prediction
Prediction: The Pistons steal Game 1 at the Garden behind Cade Cunningham’s stellar playoff debut.
Both teams enter the postseason limping after closing their regular-season campaign with a losing record in their last five games. However, the Pistons managed to get a huge psychological win over the Knicks 115-106 on April 10 to win the regular-season series 3-1. Detroit averaged 119 points per game in their last three meetings, whereas the Knicks averaged 112 per contest, which is way below their average of 117 points per game. The Knicks have a strong starting five of Towns, Brunson, Anunoby, Bridges, and Hart, while the Pistons are being led by their do-it-all star Cade Cunningham, who torched them with 30.8 points, 8.3 assists, and 5.0 rebounds in four regular-season games this year. To steal Game 1, Cunningham must deliver similar or even greater numbers to outgun the Knicks, who were 27-14 at home this season. There’s a good chance this game will go down to the wire, but Cunningham’s star will shine brighter in the Big Apple on Saturday. Our betting prediction for the New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons: Pistons will win.
