Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks: prediction for the NBA match
In total, teams played 40 matches against each other. In terms of outcomes, the rivals have full parity. The New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons have 20 wins each. Teams have already played two matches in New York this fall, both won by the Knicks. On October 14, 2021 (preseason match) they won with a score of 108:100, and on December 22 they won with a score of 105:91.
Detroit Pistons
Before the clash with the Clippers, Boston lost Jason Tatum. The team leader got into the COVID protocol. In the fight against Milwaukee, he was one of the best on the court. Then Tatum scored 25 points. But in the next match with Minnesota he did not play. His absence affected the actions of “Boston”. As a result, the Celtics lost to the Wolves with a score of 103:108. In addition to Tatum, Marcus Smart may not play in the confrontation with the Clippers. Its exit to the parquet is now in question. In this case, everything will depend on the successful actions of Jaylen Brown. He must lead the partners.
New York Knicks
New York was inspired by the victory over Atlanta. Already in the next match Tom Thibodeau’s wards defeated Minnesota at a visit (96:88). This time Julias Randle and Kemba Walker did not show the game they showed in the confrontation with the Hawks. Despite this their team still won. Recent successes have improved the Knicks’ standings. From the 12th line they moved to the tenth. As you know, this position gives the right to play in the play-in. But keeping the position will not be so easy.
Prediction
A week ago, New York beat Detroit with a score of 105:91 at home. It is possible that something similar will happen now. It is unlikely that the "pistons" will be able to demonstrate an effective game. It is unlikely that after two successful matches, the Pistons reservists will continue to enchant. Detroit's forwards could fail this time. Our prediction is Detroit's individual total under 101 points for 1.80 odds in BC 1xBet. At home, Casey's wards can fight the favorite. They won their last home game. Ten days ago they beat Miami (100:90). With this in mind, we suggest playing a positive handicap against the hosts. The second prediction is for handicap "Detroit" (+8.5) points for 1.67. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.80. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
