Look for the Knicks to be focused for Game 3 after losing 100-94 on Monday while shooting 42 percent and missing 25-of-35 3-point tries. Jalen Brunson scored 37 points, but Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby scored just 10 apiece. The game went UNDER by 27.5 points and the Pistons are 5-0 UNDER as underdogs of 0.5-4.5 points. Detroit also is 4-0 UNDER after being away from home for at least seven days. New York has stayed UNDER seven of nine road games. The Knicks are still on a 10-5 ATS run and Detroit is 3-6 ATS its past nine home contests. The Knicks have won eight of nine at Detroit. New York is 26-15 UNDER in the first half. Three picks for this game: Take the Knicks ATS, play the first half UNDER, and bet the full game to go UNDER the total.
