Premium Pick

Detroit showed its playoff inexperience as the Knicks went on a 21-0 run in the fourth quarter to defeat the Pistons 123-112 in Game 1. Jalen Brunson scored 34 points for the Knicks, who have covered their past four as home favorites of 5.0-10.5 points. The Pistons are 0-6-1 ATS in their past seven as road underdogs, and they have lost seven of their past nine games with a 2-7 ATS record. Detroit will have the same problems in Game 2 as New York has too many offensive weapons. In addition to Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby each had 23 points, and the Knicks shot 53 percent from the field and hit 10 of 26 3-point tries. New York is on a 9-4 ATS run. Take the Knicks.
