The Knicks come into this game 2-2 in the second back-to-back game. They have split the season series with the Pistons thus far, winning on the road but losing at home to the Pistons back on December 7th. The Pistons were able to end a 16-game losing streak to the Knicks in that second game, thanks to a triple-double by Cunningham. The Pistons don't have a guard that can effectively stay in front of Brunson, averaging 34 points per game against the Pistons this season. New York also doesn't make mistakes with the basketball, making up for a mediocre defense. Also, expect the Knicks to exploit the perimeter even more than usual on Monday night against a Pistons team that ranks next to last in the NBA in 3-point defense.

Take the Knicks!
