On Thursday, the New York Knicks should be able to replicate Sunday’s 109-90 blowout win at Detroit. In the contest the Pistons shot just 38.9 percent from the field and received just 47 points from their starting lineup. A victory also would put the Knicks over .500 heading into the All-Star break. Grab the Knicks, who should be motivated from start to finish.

Detroit absolutely burned me big backing Toronto on Wednesday as the Pistons were down both Jerami Grant and Josh Jackson, their two top scorers, yet they won easily at the equally short-handed Raptors. New York was a rare favorite Tuesday in San Antonio, which was down a handful of guys, but was largely dominated 119-93 without an injured Derrick Rose. It frankly doesn't much matter if Rose plays here or not, the Knicks should win -- I'm taking the moneyline in case Grant and Jackson are back.
