A potential first round playoff matchup is on deck tonight as the Knicks (50-29, 23-16 away) visit the Pistons (43-36, 21-18 home). New York can clinch the East’s third seed with a win or a Pacers loss, and that would set up a likely matchup with Detroit who seem destined to finish sixth. Online sportsbooks are siding with the Pistons in the NBA odds, while I’m predicting this game exceeds the total. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:10pm ET at the Little Caesars Arena, in Detroit, MI.

Detroit is currently favored by 3.5-points and is -162 on the moneyline. The total sits at 228.5, with New York coming back as a +136 underdog. Per the NBA public betting trends, the over/under has risen 4 points since opening odds were released, thanks to some key absences on the Knicks side.
