Knicks vs Pistons Prediction, Props, and Best Bets NBA Game 6

Host · Writer
The New York Knicks are set for a Thursday night showdown with the Detroit Pistons. New York enters this matchup hoping to put the series away after blowing their previous opportunity at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. On the flip side, Detroit hopes to carry the momentum from their gutsy win in Game 5 into a do-or-die Game 7 situation. All things considered, expect both teams to come out swinging in this marquee matchup.

Knicks vs. Pistons Best Bet: Pistons -2
The Pistons enter this matchup as the slight favorites at home in this win-or-go-home scenario. Detroit showed true grit in their victory on Tuesday, and many believe they were robbed of a win on Sunday. Despite this series’s 3-2 deficit, the Pistons are a few plays away from having the upper hand. Assuming Detroit heads into battle on Thursday willing to fight for their season, I expect JB Bickerstaff’s squad to win by more than two points.

Knicks vs. Pistons Best Total Bet: Under 213
These two squads have only combined for 213+ points twice through five games. With Detroit being a defensive-minded team under Bickerstaff, the Pistons want to turn this series into a low-scoring and gritty matchup. I expect Thursday to follow a similar trend, with a final score of 104-98 a realistic outcome.

Knicks Best Player Bet: Jalen Brunson to Record 8+ Assists +114
Jalen Brunson has been the driving force for the Knicks all season long, averaging 26 points and 7.3 assists. The guard has carried his strong play into the postseason, proving to be a threat as both a scorer and facilitator. Through five games, Brunson is averaging 29.8 points and 8.4 assists. With 8+ assists in three of the last five games and two of his previous three, it won’t be a shock to see the playmaker meet the mark again, especially if the Pistons prioritize getting the ball out of his hands.

Pistons Best Player Bet: Tobias Harris 2+ Made Threes +118
Tobias Harris has done precisely what the Pistons had in mind for him when they signed him in free agency during the offseason. The veteran has proven to be a reliable 3-and-D player. Through five games, he’s been Detroit’s second-leading scorer, averaging 16 points per game. Coming off a 17-point performance, where he drained three shots from beyond the arc, I like the odds that Harris can do it again on Thursday.
