Check out my Knicks vs. Pistons playoff SGP predictions for Game 6 on May 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knicks vs. Pistons predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Pistons +3.5 | Towns 20+ points | Cunningham 8+ assists | Duren under 12.5 points (+460)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Pistons +3.5 <\/strong><\/strong>(-210):<\/strong> The fourth quarter of Game 1 went haywire on Detroit, as the team turned a nine-point lead into a 13-point deficit in less than five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some might&#8217;ve chalked that up to the young Pistons&#8217; playoff inexperience, and maybe that&#8217;s fair. But they&#8217;ve learned quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit is 2-2 since then, dropping a pair of games by a combined three points. After a controversial non-call went against the Pistons at the end of Game 4, they responded by going into Madison Square Garden and staving off elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a tight, physical series, and I could see yet another game decided on the final shot. I like Detroit to win outright, but I&#8217;ll buy some points for this SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113296\">Embed: #113296<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/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>Towns 20+ points <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-250):<\/strong> The Knicks had a weirdly balanced scoring night in Game 5, with all five starters scoring between 15 and 19 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming that anomaly doesn&#8217;t carry forward, Towns is as good a pick as any to step up in the scoring department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Towns was at his best on the road in Games 3 and 4, scoring 58 total points while shooting 9-for-15 from 3-point range.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On the season, Towns has 20+ points in 6 of 8 games against the Pistons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Foul trouble is the primary risk for KAT, who has finished with five fouls in back-to-back games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as someone who has only fouled out twice since December, Towns seems to know where to draw the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cunningham 8+ assists (-286):<\/strong> Cunningham has been justifiably ball-dominant in this series, leading the Pistons in minutes, shots, points, assists, steals and turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways to back the former No. 1 overall pick, and this is what I&#8217;ve landed on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since December, Cunningham has averaged 8.9 APG in eight games against the Knicks \u2014 cashing this bet six times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the series was last in Detroit for Games 3 and 4, he tallied double-digit assists in both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cunningham is averaging 18.4 potential assists per game, which denotes the number of passes that lead directly to a shot. That&#8217;s No. 2 among all playoff performers, and it means he <em>should<\/em> hit this milestone almost every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duren under 12.5 points (-132):<\/strong> No matter what happens tonight, Duren is giving Pistons fans a lot to be excited about moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 21-year-old is averaging a double-double in his first playoff round while posting a series-best 11.6 RPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do still think there&#8217;s room to give him flowers and fade him at the same time, though. Detroit is just not asking the big man to do a lot on the offensive end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duren has attempted just 31 shots through five games. That&#8217;s the fewest of Detroit&#8217;s seven rotation players.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has gone under 12.5 points in 4 of 5 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>New York was tough on centres all year, according to Betting Pros, allowing the third-fewest points to the position during the regular season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Knicks vs. Pistons predictions made at 9:15 a.m. ET 05\/01\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an upset win on the road, the Detroit Pistons look to stay alive again in Thursday&#8217;s Game 6 versus the New York Knicks.
