LiontipsNew York vs Detroit. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Knicks' terrible performance led to their drop from the Top-10 of the Eastern Conference. They are currently at the 12th spot. But it was not always like this. At the start of the regular season New York put up a great performance. Back then, it seemed like team will have no problems with clinching a play-off berth.
But situation has changed. Eventually team's results went downhill. Knicks are looking terrible on defense, Tom Thibodeau is facing a serious crisis now. Knicks lost five home matches in a row.
Detroit lost any chance for a play-off spot in the current season. Dwane Casey's men are just playing for fun now and are trying to gain experience for the next season. Pistons' main star is Jerami Grant. But he won't be able to help his team now, because he is in the injuried list. Kelly Olynyk also won't play due to injury.
Despite all the problems Pistons won the most recent match. Two days ago they managed to beat Miami (100:90). The best player in Detroit's squad was Saddiq Bey. He scored 26 points.
