The Pistons are 5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs this season (T-best record in NBA) and the Knicks are playing some terrible basketball lately. This is payback from last years playoff robbery. Take the Pistons on the money line.

Caesar’s. Mikal Bridges is under this line in 14 of his last 20 games when playing with both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. He’ll face a tough opponent in the Pistons, especially for his style of play. Detroit limits spot up shooters to the fourth fewest points, and overall allows the fewest assists per game. The latter obviously hurts Bridges assists potential, but also his scoring, as only 25% of his made baskets are unassisted I’d bet this down to under 19.5.

Miles McBride is having a strong season while averaging a career high in PPG, while shooting a blistering 45% from behind the arc. He looks set to see 30+ minutes as the Knicks will be without Josh Hart. McBride has averaged 16 PPG in games without Josh Hart in the lineup. This game projects to be competitive and is featuring the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
