It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but Detroit is no longer an NBA doormat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In what is the most anticipated Pistons home game since those early-2000s squads, I expect Detroit to at least hang tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detroit is 4-2 SU against the Knicks this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Pistons had an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter of Game 1 before a 21-0 run by the Knicks washed it away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detroit is 11-8-1 ATS as a home underdog, per Team Rankings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Cunningham over 27.5 points <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-125):<\/strong> Cunningham&#8217;s playoff debut was a bit messy, but he settled in for Game 2 and had a solid night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The No. 1 overall pick from 2021 finished with a team-high 33 points on 11-of-21 shooting (10-for-12 from the free-throw line).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s now eight straight games for Cunningham with 20-plus shot attempts, which gives us a nice floor in terms of scoring opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that eight-game sample, Cunningham has averaged 30.8 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first-time all-star has also done plenty of solid work against the Knicks, cashing this bet in four of five matchups since December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Bridges 15+ points<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-180):<\/strong> Bridges, a seven-year vet, played more minutes this season than anyone else in the NBA. He&#8217;s not the first or even second scoring option for the Knicks, but he&#8217;s always around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3-point stroke hasn&#8217;t been there for Bridges yet this series, as he&#8217;s just 3-for-13 from deep. Still, I see merit in this milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bridges has 15+ points in 5 of 6 games vs. Detroit this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Against all opponents, Bridges averaged 17.6 PPG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 15+ points in 16 of his past 21 games \u2014 and in four of the anomalies, he finished with exactly 14 points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the 3-point shooting turns around a bit, this should be a breeze.
