Knicks vs Pistons NBA Playoffs Parlay Picks for Sunday, April 27: Brunson, Harris Top Player Props To Bet

After ending a 15-game playoff losing streak, the Detroit Pistons squandered a chance to take the lead in their first-round playoff series against the favored New York Knicks, suffering a two-point loss in Detroit’s first home playoff game since 2019. Despite that, the NBA odds have the Pistons favored for just the second time in their last 23 meetings with the Knicks.

With Detroit listed as a two-point favorite, the better option for those who bet on the NBA could be to go with the Pistons at -130 to tie the series with their first home playoff win since 2008. Check out my top NBA parlay picks today for one of the more intriguing first-round series.

Knicks vs Pistons Free NBA Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Pistons ML (-125)

I think the experience and star power that the Knicks bring to the court will make it hard for the Pistons to win their first playoff series in 17 years, with the NBA futures odds favoring New York. However, the 118-116 loss in Game 3 proved that the Pistons aren’t going to back down to the Knicks, even though three of their starters are making their playoff debuts.

Detroit’s season will be on the line with a second consecutive home loss. The last thing the Pistons want to do is head back to Madison Square Garden on the brink of elimination. Take the Pistons to win outright.

• Leg 2: Knicks vs Pistons Over 217 (-110)

Six of the last eight matchups between the Knicks and Pistons went over the total, with the previous four matchups that had a total under 220 all landing over.

Both teams shot under 50% from the field in Game 3. That could happen again. However, roll with the NBA odds and take the over.

• Leg 3: Knicks G Jalen Brunson Over 40.5 Pts+Rbs+Asts (-121)

Jalen Brunson has scored at least 30 points in each of the first three games in this series. He added seven rebounds and nine assists in the Game 3 win for the Knicks.

Brunson has put up at least 30 points in six of his seven matchups with the Pistons this season. It’s just a hunch that the Pistons will make it tough for Brunson to go over 30 once again. However, the -121 odds for him to go over 40.5 combined points, rebounds and assists are pretty enticing in the NBA free picks.

• Leg 4: Pistons F Tobias Harris Over 14.5 Points (-121)

Still need more of my NBA expert prop picks? Ride with Detroit’s Tobias Harris to finish over 14.5 points. Harris had 25 and 15 points in the first two games of the series before being held to five points on 2-of-9 shooting in the Game 3 loss. Harris has averaged 18.6 points in his last five games after being held in single digits.
