Pre-match view
Detroit's unbeaten, higher-scoring start gives it the better evidence for the full game and for a handicap cushion, but Duren's absence and two questionable Pistons leave the frontcourt unsettled against a Knicks side playing at home.
Detroit's winning start and heavier scoring make the Pistons the side with the better evidence, but Jalen Duren's absence and the questionable status of Ausar Thompson and Isaiah Joe leave Detroit's size and wing rotation unsettled against a Knicks team playing at home.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.

Detroit PistonsMarket 43.5% · BetBugs 58%
Detroit has opened with three wins and 106-128 points, while New York has scored 100-103 in three losses, giving the visitors the clearer early scoring edge.
Detroit Pistons +4.5Market 53.5% · BetBugs 76%
Detroit has won all three early games and would need to lose by five or more for this cushion to fail, a less common outcome given New York's low scoring.
Detroit Pistons +3.5Market 53.5% · BetBugs 69%
Detroit's three early wins and higher scoring output make a 3.5-point cushion valuable, with the visitors covering unless New York wins by four or more.
