Most important, the Knicks have now won six of their last seven games straight up, but a lingering theme even in those wins is a difficulty closing.
At any rate, against the Pistons, New York shouldn’t have that problem.
Knicks and Pistons on Different Levels
Additionally, Sunday’s afternoon game should be one where the Knicks take advantage early and never look back.
On the other hand, Detroit has home-court advantage. But…I’m not buying that as a key factor here.
All in all, give this one to New York, on the road, both straight up and against the spread.
