Detroit Pistons

For a long time Detroit has been playing without Jeremy Grant. The absence of a leader affects the performance of the "pistons". They got it worse. Quite often Casey's wards do not score even 100 points per match. By the way, the "pistons" are no longer counting on this player. They began negotiations for his departure from the team. The main contender for Jeremy is the Phoenix.

In the upcoming meeting Grant will again not help his team. Besides him the Pistons will not be able to count on Tray Liles, Corey Joseph and Josh Jackson. But this does not mean that Detroit has no chance. In the last match Hamida Diallo and Saddiq Bay surprised. This tandem scored 51 points. But this did not help the "pistons" much. They lost 109:144 to San Antonio.

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.
