The Pistons are coming into this game with a 20-54 record overall and they are 12-25 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game.

The Knicks are coming into this game off of 2 straight wins and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They have won 2 straight and 4 of their last 6 games and they seem to perform better when Julius Randle is not in the lineup, which he will not be in this game. They have won 2 good games on the road recently, a double digit win against the Hornets and an 8 point win against the Heat. They are going up against a Pistons team that has been playing the best they have played all season recently but they are coming off of a bad loss at home against the Wizards who were missing their two best players. The Pistons have lost 2 of their last 3 games and even though they do have some good wins and some very close losses to good teams recently, their last 2 losses came against some of the worst teams in the NBA right now and the Knicks have actually been playing much better recently despite their record. The Pistons are starting to fade a little while the Knicks are just heating up and trying very hard to make one final playoff push with not many games left. The Knicks have been playing better recently and they should win this game against the Pistons on the road here but only by single digits.
