Knicks at Pistons Predictions, Props and Best Bets

Knicks Moneyline (-118)

In a rematch of what was a really fun playoff series last year, I like the Knicks to win as slight road favorites.

There are three main reasons I'm into backing New York.

One, they've been playing great ball lately. Over the last 10 games, the Knicks rank first in the league in net rating (+15.8) by a wide margin. The Pistons are sixth in the league in that span with a net rating of +6.8.

Secondly, despite being on the road for this one, the Knicks have a rest advantage. Detroit played last night at home and gave up 126 points to the Washington Wizards in a surprising loss. The Knicks, meanwhile, last played on Wednesday.

Lastly, I'm expecting the Pistons to be without Jalen Duren, who exited early last night with an injury.

It all adds up to me being comfortable taking the Knicks to win on the road.

Mitchell Robinson to Record 10+ Rebounds (+112)

Admittedly, it doesn't feel great to take a bench player to get double-digit boards. But Mitchell Robinson can do it tonight.

Duren's potential absence could be a boon for Robinson. Duren being out would probably result in Ron Holland II or Paul Reed moving into the starting lineup. That would weaken Detroit's second unit, and if it's Reed who starts, the Pistons would have very few bench options to compete with Robinson on the glass.

Robinson averages 9.1 rebounds per game. Over the past 13 games, he's up to 10.1 boards per night, going for at least 10 rebounds in eight of the 13 games. The first game in that stretch came against the Pistons, and Robinson totaled 10 rebounds.

Regardless of Duren's status, I like Robinson in this market, but it certainly helps Robinson's rebounding outlook if Duren is out.
