1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider New York to be the clear favorites of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Detroit will not have many chances of success. It is not even worth arguing with them. Thibodeau team has more or less improved its game after the arrival of new players in the summer. The Knicks have won almost all of their matches with middling teams this season. The team from the Big Apple will have to achieve victory over not the most formidable opponents.

Bet on the player
Towns played 62 games in the regular season that ended and averaged 21.8 points per game. This season, his rate is already noticeably higher — 25.2.

Our prediction is Towns total points over 25.5 including overtime at 1.87
