Knicks vs Pistons Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets for April 10: N.Y. Upsets Detroit

Don’t count out the short-handed New York Knicks on Thursday. The Knicks make a quick trip to Detroit, and the NBA betting odds expect them to lose. New York will be down several key players such as Josh Hart and OG Anunoby. But the tough-nosed squad still has plenty of depth and can give the younger Pistons a run for their money. Our NBA expert picks include New York.

OUT Thursday at Detroit, Knicks announce:

–– OG Anunoby (right thumb sprain)

–– Josh Hart (right knee Patellofemoral Syndrome (aka runner’s knee)

–– Mitchell Robinson (left ankle surgery injury recovery)

Knicks vs Pistons Prediction

Detroit won the last two games against New York but has also lost eight straight at home against it. Fair play, Detroit is much better now than its previous versions. But the Pistons are also only 2-5 against the spread in their last seven home games, while New York is 6-1 ATS in its last seven. New York pulls this off.

Knicks vs Pistons Best NBA Player Props Today

• Knicks C Karl-Anthony Towns Over 39.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts

Without Hart and Anunoby, the onus will be on Karl-Anthony Towns to do the heavy lifting. The big man averages 29 points, 15 boards and four assists in games without Hart this season. He posted a double-double the last time he played in Detroit. Our NBA prop pick is over 39.5.

• Knicks G Jalen Brunson Under 25.5 Points

Without Hart, Jalen Brunson becomes more of a playmaker than a scorer. He’s dished an average of 7.7 assists in three games without him. But he’s also scored just 20.7 points. Brunson scored 36 in his last visit to Detroit. We think he regresses a little here and goes below his point totals.

• Pistons F Ausar Thompson Over 5.5 Rebounds

Ausar Thompson has been a force against the glass lately. The former lottery pick has hauled in 7.3 rebounds in his last six games, and he’s pulled 6+ in five of his last seven games. Expect him to make NBA news today as he goes over his rebounding prop yet again.

Knicks vs Pistons Total Pick

New York has held six of its last nine opponents under 110 points. The three teams that they didn’t? The Clippers, Celtics and Cavaliers, teams with short NBA title odds and who rank in the top seven in offensive rating since the All-Star break. The Knicks will neutralize Detroit, which has failed to hit the 110-point mark in three of their last five games. Bet the under.

Knicks vs Pistons ATS Pick

While the Knicks have not been so hot as underdogs, 6-10 ATS, Detroit is not much better as a host. The Pistons are just 7-12 ATS as a home favorite and are just 5-11 when hosting teams with winning records such as New York. The Knicks should also be extra spicy after a tough loss against Boston. Bet New York to cover, at least.

Knicks vs Pistons ML Pick

It’s notorious how bad New York has been against the top three teams (0-9). But people discount how good it has been against everyone else. New York is 12-11 against other teams at .500 or better. It is also 11-7 ATS against East teams in the top eight. We don’t fancy New York’s NBA Finals odds. But we like to cash as an underdog tonight.
