The New York Knicks are expected to hit the floor at full strength once again, while the Detroit Pistons are dealing with some uncertainty surrounding Isaiah Stewart, who remains questionable heading into this crucial matchup. The Knicks will be eager to bounce back after letting a winnable Game 5 slip away, particularly Jalen Brunson, who had his first truly off night of the series. That loss will sting, and New York knows they missed a golden opportunity to close things out.

Meanwhile, the Pistons are once again in survival mode, but this time they have the advantage of playing on their home court. Historically, that hasn't meant much—Detroit has dropped nine straight home playoff games dating back to 2008. Still, they showed a lot of heart and toughness in their previous outing, and if Cade Cunningham can step up with a strong offensive performance, there’s a real shot at extending this series.

With the betting line set tight, this feels like a toss-up. But considering the circumstances and desperation factor, backing the Pistons to come out energized, set the tone early, and grind out a close win at home seems like the smart play. Take Detroit ATS
