Is the Knicks’ home slump continuing?
The New York Knicks get a visit from the bottom of the standings in the East in Detroit. The Pistons have been waiting almost exactly a year for their next win in this pairing (0-4). For the game at Madison Square Garden between the Knicks and Pistons, today’s NBA betting tips from the betting database can be read below!
New York Knicks – statistics & current form
The Knicks, like many other teams in the National Basketball Association, are currently affected by Corona-related losses. It is therefore not really clear which players from the quarantine may now be back on board and which will still have to miss out.
However, it is certain that some players will still be missing due to the Covid 19 protocol, which is why the squad will be decimated. Furthermore, the home side cannot rely on a home bonus. Only a third of the 15 home games played have been victorious.
Only the upcoming opponents and Orlando are even weaker in front of their own backdrop in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit Pistons – statistics & current form
The visitors travel with a win against Miami and have gained some confidence. This is also bitterly needed, as it was only the fifth win in the 29th game! Away from home, the win rate drops once again: More than two victories have not been recorded in the 14 guest games so far.
However, Saddiq Bey is in good form. The small forward scored 26 points in the last game against Miami and currently fills the gap in the offensive line due to the loss of Jerami Grant. For the 22-year-old, who was born in Charlotte, it was the third game in a row in which he delivered at least 23 points!
New York Knicks – Detroit Pistons Tip
For the duel of the New York Knicks against the Detroit Pistons, the tip aims for more than 15.5 points by Saddiq Bey on the side of the visitors. The small forward delivered an average of 25.66 points in the past three games.
With the loss of Jerami Grant, the best shooter in the league so far, Bey or the first pick of the last draft, Cade Cunningham, have to take on more responsibility in the offence and the 22-year-old is doing justice to these tasks as described.
In addition, the Knicks have not been overly strong at home so far and quarantine measures will keep some players out, which will also weaken the home side’s defence.
Bet365 offers odds of 1.80 on the clash between the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons.
