Detroit @ New York

[SaffaCappa]

Expecting the line to be New York -7.5 or thereabouts.

Here are some stats.
Detroit are 2-9 ATS on the road this season.
The Pistons have played 2 B2B's on the road this season.
13 Jan @Bobcats where they were +3.5 dogs and won SU 98-81
18 Jan @Twolves where they were +9 dogs and covered losing 93-85

The only 2 times the Pistons have covered was on the 2nd match of a road B2B.

Tonight they travel to the Knicks. This is a 2nd leg of a B2B2B

The Knicks have the Bulls on deck in Thursday prime time clash.

Are the Pistons +7.5 the play???

The Knicks have a lower Hollinger rating (#23) than the Raptors (20), Warriors (21), and Hornets (22). They're only 4.5 games better in the standings than the Pistons.

I'm literally in shock contemplating this, the Knicks were #5 seed in the East last season, right?

The Knicks could easily lose against the Pistons and I wouldn't be surprised if the Pistons had this game circled on their calendar. A winnable game in Madison Square Garden, it would be a highlight of their season imho. I wouldn't touch the Knicks with a ten foot pole here.

Ok, line set at Pistons +8.5.

I am liking that!
