The New York Knicks are a solid favorite in the NBA odds as they try to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday night against the visiting Detroit Pistons.
The Knicks found a way to win a pair of extremely tight games in Detroit to take a 3-1 lead in the series and look to match last season when they reached the second round. The Pistons must lick their wounds and win two more in New York to win the series.
You get some solid odds for Detroit to win three in a row (+1300) and even better NBA finals odds for the Knicks to win the championship (+4000).
Pistons vs Knicks NBA Playoffs Prediction
Knicks 114, Pistons 106
You must decide whether New York can deal with prosperity and if Detroit has the ability to recover from two gutting losses at home. The Pistons should show their grit, but we think the Knicks pull away while OG Anunoby and Josh Hart prove good NBA player props.
Pistons vs Knicks Best Player Props Today
-
OG Anunoby 20+ Points in Knicks Win (+227)
New York forward OG Anunoby had 20+ points in Games 1 and 3, so he might be due for another big performance to help the Knicks move on. Anunoby had 23 in Game 1 and 22 in Game 3 while combining for 18 in the other two. We expect the Pistons may double on Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony-Towns more often, which will give others open shots and make them good NBA prop picks.
-
Tobias Harris 2+ Made 3-Pointers (+134)
Detroit’s veteran forward Tobias Harris drained four of his five 3-point attempts in Game 1 and has gone cold since, connecting on just 2-of-10. We expect his experience will show with the season on the line. Harris should get open looks with the Knicks trying to slow Cade Cunningham and Malik Beasley.
-
Josh Hart 6+ Assists and Knicks Win (+110)
New York point guard Josh Hart is averaging more assists in the series (6.3) than in the regular season (5.9) and we expect that to continue with scoring threats all around him. Hart had nine assists and 11 rebounds in the Game 3 victory, and he will be in our NBA picks tonight to put up similar numbers in a win.

Pistons vs Knicks Moneyline Pick
Detroit has proved to be a tough foe for the Knicks in this series, but you have to wonder if the Pistons have a bruised psyche after the losses they endured. Detroit could come in mad after two controversial endings and give it a go, but we think New York finds a way at MSG.
Pistons vs Knicks Spread Pick
We expect this to go like Game 1, where Detroit played three outstanding quarters, but could not hold off the Knicks in the final 12 minutes. Brunson is averaging 33.3 points and Towns 22.8 in the series, making big shot after big shot, but the Knicks have several players who can support them in the fourth quarter. Take the Knicks to squeeze away late.

Pistons vs Knicks Over/Under Pick
Two games have opened up, and the other two featured under 200 total points, so which way will this one go? Detroit is in desperation mode, and the Knicks may be able to capitalize on the Pistons overcommitting. The number being as low as it is makes the over very enticing in NBA betting news. Take the “gift.”
