New York Knicks
Point Spread Pick
DET Pistons -2.0(-110)

Once again the Knicks came up big when it mattered the most and now they have an opportunity to seize control over their series against the Pistons as the two teams meet in Game 4 this Sunday. A balanced attack led by KAT with 31 points and Jalen Brunson who added 30 was the key to Game 3, along with timely stops on the defensive end. New York built a 13-point lead at the half, that certainly helped calm the Pistons fans who saw their team host a postseason game for the first time in 6 years. Now the question is can the Knicks deliver the knockout punch? They’ve now won 9 times in 10 visits to Little Caesars Arena, plus over the last 20 meetings they’ve lost just 4 times.

The moment just looked too big for this young and inexperienced Pistons team in Game 3, even though the final score indicates they had a chance to win, the Knicks seemingly had the game under control. Along with the standard numbers of Cade Cunningham, Detroit got solid contributions from Tim Hardaway Jr., Jalen Duren and Dennis Schroder. Game 4 is all about adjustments, if there’s one thing they have to do in Sunday’s game it’s getting the veteran Tobias Harris going. He averages almost 3 points more in wins this season, while shooting over 50% from the field compared to just 44% in losses. Isaiah Stewart was dearly missed down low, the level of physicality went up a notch as the two teams combined to take 56 free throws on Thursday.

Going down 3-1 likely means the end of the road for the Pistons in Game 5, so they will be playing their hearts out on Sunday just to stay alive. Will that be enough? I believe it will. They have done so many good things this season, their fans at Little Caesars Arena deserve to see at least one win before this series is over. I’m taking the Pistons to level things up at 2-2.

Knicks vs Pistons prediction: Detroit -2 (-110) is available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
