Smart Game Analysis
New York Knicks has a 58% chance of winning the game
The Knicks enter with a significant rest advantage and an eight-game winning streak, facing a Pistons squad playing on zero days' rest after a demoralizing upset loss.
Key Analysis
- • Detroit is on the second night of a back-to-back after losing to the 13-win Wizards yesterday.
- • New York has won 8 straight games, including a 134-point outburst against Denver on Wednesday.
- • Jalen Brunson is in peak form, coming off a 42-point performance, while Detroit's defense just allowed 126 points to Washington.
- • Pistons starters Jalen Duren (knee) and Tobias Harris (hip) are listed as day-to-day, putting their availability in doubt.
- • New York holds a rest advantage having not played since Wednesday, while Detroit's starters played heavy minutes less than 24 hours ago.
- • Detroit must slow the pace and dominate the paint to overcome their fatigue and the Knicks' perimeter scoring.
