Free New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
Saturday, February 8th, the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons meeting for the second time this season. In the initial contest, the Pistons won 122 – 102.
Last season, the teams played four times with the Pistons sweeping the series. The Knicks hold the all-time record having bested the Pistons in 206 of their 382 matches.
New York Knicks
It’s been a busy week for the Knicks as they fired President Steve Mills and rumors flew over who his replacement would be. The fact the team in the Mecca decided to do this just two days prior to the NBA Trade Deadline only added to the mockery the New York club continually face.

At the deadline, the Knicks jettisoned Marcus Morris to the Clippers which will help the LA club in their pursuit of a title while the return to the Knicks wasn’t exactly jawdropping.
Maurice Harkless is a solid player but the main asset returning from the trade is a 2020 first-round pick although it’s bound to be a late selection.
In the victory over the Magic Julius Randle led the way with 22 points. Taj Gibson (19), Elfrid Payton (15) and a trio of players scored 12 points including RJ Barrett, Reggie Bullock, and Wayne Ellington
Julius Randle leads the four main stat categories for the Knicks including scoring (19.0) assists (3.3) and rebounding (9.5). and field goal percentage (45.3%), Mitchell Robinson leads blocks (1.8) while. RJ Barrett is tops in steals (1.0).
Damyean Dotson is probable to play after missing the game against the Bulls due to illness. Allonzo Trier also missed the last game with an illness and is listed as questionable.
Detroit Pistons
Friday served up the first game for the Pistons without their double-double machine Andre Drummond who was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday in a bit of a head-scratching exchange.
The return for Drummond was light as Brandon Knight, John Henson, and a 2023 second-round pick head Detroit’s way.
Although the Pistons were shorthanded as both Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin were also out they tried to stay close to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
They did manage to accomplish that much but the Thunder were playing down to their competition more than the Pistons were overachieving.
Christian Wood delivered a double-double of 27 points and 12 rebounds. Former Thunder player Reggie Jackson also had a big night leading the scoring with 28 points. Thon Maker chipped in 19 points as the only other double-figure contributor.
On the season Derrick Rose leads in points (18.8), assists (6.0) and field goal percentage (49.8%). Bruce Brown leads rebounding (5.5) and steals (1.2) and Christian Wood is the leader for blocks (0.8).
The two players acquired in the trade (Knight, Henson) are questionable to play Saturday. Another trio of Pistons are also questionable including Markieff Morris who has missed four games with a hip strain, Svi Mykhailiuk out three games with a hip strain and Khyri Thomas (foot).
Derrick Rose (adductor strain) Luke Kennard (knee), and Blake Griffin (arthroscopic knee surgery) are all out.
