Knicks vs. Pistons Prediction
One positive to the poor season was that the Pistons earned a high draft pick.
Detroit selected Ron Holland in the first round. Holland is expected to be a key part of this franchise moving forward.
Another former first-round pick, Cade Cunningham, leads the squad with 25.6 points and 7.4 assists per game.
Jaden Ivey is off to a strong start this year with 21.2 points and 4.4 rebounds.
Big man Jalen Duren leads the squad, ripping down 9.2 rebounds.
New York begins the contest with a 2-2 record. After an aggressive offseason, the Knicks entered the season as favorites to win the NBA Championship.
The Knicks added sharpshooting big man Karl-Anthony Towns and one of the best defenders in the NBA, Mikal Bridges. New York traded away Julius Randle and Dante DiVincenzo in the process.
The Knicks reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, but the Indiana Pacers defeated them in seven games. Anything less than a championship will be considered a disappointment for this Knicks team.
Jalen Brunson leads the squad with 22.8 points and 5.8 assists per game.
Big man Karl Anthony Towns has averaged 22.5 points and a team-best 11.2 rebounds.
Mikal Bridges has added 18.3 points and 4.0 assists.
New York has averaged 113.0 points per game.
