Pistons vs Knicks: Take the Points With Unbeaten Detroit on the Road

Detroit comes to Madison Square Garden unbeaten. The Pistons are 3-0 with road wins at Miami and Philadelphia, and they have covered ground early by playing fast and defending the ball.

The Knicks are the defending champions, but they are 0-3 and lost at home to Orlando on Sunday. The market still prices the name on the front of the jersey, and that leaves points on the table for the road team.

Detroit is short-handed with Jalen Duren out, and Ausar Thompson and Isaiah Joe are game-time decisions. Even short-handed, the Pistons have the form, and three and a half points is room to work with against a team still searching for its first win.

Betting angle

Pistons +3.5 (-110). Take the points with the unbeaten road team. A $10 ticket returns $19.
