The Pistons have won all three of their games this season against the Knicks, two of them in 2025 and one in New York, so we expect this to be a close game with little difference in the final score.

Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks: Under 222

Although the Pistons scored at least 115 points in their three games against the Knicks, things are different in the playoffs, especially against a home team that has one of the best defenses in the league with an average of 111.7 points allowed per game. Also, Detroit will know how important it is to defend in order to win these types of games, so we expect a low-scoring affair.

Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks Prediction

This will be a very close game until the end, in which both teams will have opportunities to win, and we think the defenses will set the pace of the game, so we believe the best option here is to expect the Pistons to put up a fight until the end in a game with a score worthy of the postseason.
