The Detroit Pistons have a shot at the final playoff spot in the East at just one-game back of Miami. Andre Drummond (14.4 points and 14.0 rebounds per game) anchors the frontcourt on a defense that is sixth in the NBA in points allowed. The Pistons are 11-5 ATS against losing teams, plus 8-3 ATS following a straight up loss of 10+ points. New York is a mess, losing five in a row, and ranked #24 in points allowed. Joakim Noah is out with a knee injury and a 20-game suspension, and the Knicks are 6-14 ATS after a spread cover. The Pistons won two of the first three meetings this season after a 112-92 victory March 11, and the favorite is 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Play Detroit.
