Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks: Current situation
It’s hard to put any pressure whatsoever on a team that entered the postseason for the first time since 2019. The Pistons have already achieved their goals for this season, anything they can get out of this series is a bonus. The building blocks for the future are there, this team has already made a solid impression on the rest of the league, we expect them to give it their best on Sunday in what could be the final game of the season in Little Ceasars Arena.
The Knicks silenced a lot of doubters in Game 3 by winning a close game. The New York media is one of the toughest in the business, so whenever you have the Knicks struggling a bit they switch to panic mode. That is no longer the case after the win earlier this week, the Knicks are now in prime position to take full control of this series with a win on Sunday.
Detroit Pistons Stats & Form
A slow start is what cost the Pistons the game on Thursday night as they lost the first two quarters by 6 and 7 points respectively. It is never easy coming back from double-digit deficits, especially in Playoff games. Tim Hardaway Jr. knocked down 7 threes en route to 24 points, while Cade Cunningham had his standard 24 and 11 assists. The play of veteran Dennis Schroder is also worth mentioning as he contributed with 18 off the bench.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
The bench play of the Knicks once again disappointed with just 9 points scored, but it didn’t matter this time around as 4 starters scored 20 or more points. Karl-Anthony Towns had his best game of the postseason scoring 31, while Jalen Brunson added 30 and 9 assists. We saw a way more aggressive Knicks team on Thursday as they got to the line a total of 29 times.

Betting tip and prediction: Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks (27.04.2025)
Once again we saw just how important experience is in the NBA postseason as the Detroit Pistons let Game 3 slip away on their home court. Hosting their first Playoff game since 2019, the atmosphere at Little Ceasars Arena was electric, but the Pistons players appeared to shrink a bit in the moment. They started off the game flat and fell behind by 13 points at half time. Sunday is a new opportunity, if you’re Detroit you certainly don’t want to go down 3-1 before the series shifts back to MSG for Game 5. The Knicks did what they were supposed to in these two games in Detroit, getting a split. But now, it’s time to get greedy. Head coach Tom Thibodeau did a solid job at evening out the ball distribution, especially on offense as we saw Karl-Anthony Towns attempt 18 shots, OG Anunoby get 17 and their leader Jalen Brunson attempt 20. When they play like a team and 4 players score 20+ points, the Knicks are a hard team to beat, now the question is do they have it in them to repeat that performance on Sunday? We certainly believe they do, the combination of size and strength down low, with KAT’s ability to step outside the perimeter and knock down threes is something that the Pistons simply don’t have. Their only hope is for Cade Cunningham to go crazy and carry them to wins, we saw that happen in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden. Putting that much pressure on the shoulders of a player who is just experiencing his first NBA postseason is a lot, we believe the Knicks are the safer option to bet on in Game 4.
