Detroit and New York are the two teams among the Eastern Conference favorites right now, so the first game of tonight’s NBA on NBC/Peacock doubleheader is as high-profile as it gets to tip off the second half of the season. With the New York Knicks hosting the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden, it’s some of the most expensive tickets in league history.

We’re here to add even more to it with our best Pistons vs. Knicks predictions for tonight; furthermore, you’ll also see more than just Pistons vs. Knicks picks with a guaranteed two-part Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus!

🤔 Pistons vs. Knicks Predictions for NBA on Prime, 2/19

As if the factors above weren’t enough, with this also being an old-school rivalry, there is even more hype. Therefore, Pistons vs. Knicks predictions are even more desirable tonight, not to mention another featured matchup after a full week off to target and add to our NBA expert picks!

When we last saw this matchup just before the All-Star break, it was an absolute beatdown with Detroit taking down New York by 38 points! As if that wasn’t impressive enough, it was only a month prior when we saw similar Pistons vs. Knicks picks come through - Detroit won that first meeting by 31 points!

What was even more impressive regarding that more recent victory wasn’t just the margin, but also the fact that New York had just been on an eight-game winning streak! We’re going to check out some other markets available to us with our Pistons vs. Knicks predictions rather than sweating out a spread pick, given the lopsided clashes thus far. 

 

 

 

🔥 Pistons vs. Knicks Best Bet: Mikal Bridges Over 14.5 Points (Use His Sleeper Card)

In terms of those other markets, we’ve checked out the player prop markets for the best value on the board. With headliners like Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson, and Karl Anthony-Towns, there are so many household names. However, we aren’t targeting any of those with our Pistons vs. Knicks predictions.

Instead, we see the best possible matchup for Mikal Bridges. Stocks have been low for him at times this season, but that is certainly not the case based on how he closed out the first “half” of the season. He closed it out with back-to-back 22-point nights, scored 14+ in five of six and 19+ in four of six games.

We also need to remember that Detroit will be without Jalen Duren due to his suspension for the Charlotte Hornets scuffle. That’s a factor for any Pistons vs. Knicks picks, and it should certainly help New York offensively. Against small forwards specifically, Detroit already allows just over 23 points per game.

Of course, that comes with some nuance in terms of opponents, but as you can see, we aren’t even asking for that much. Whether New York gets some revenge or not, we’ve got Mikal Bridges over 14.5 points (add him to a Sleeper lineup) as the best bet from our Pistons vs. Knicks predictions.
