Premium Pick

New York got a huge break with a missed foul call in Game 4, but it could be a blessing in disguise for the Pistons, who took their frustration out on the Knicks with a 106-103 victory on the road in Game 5. Cade Cunningham had 24 points, Ausar Thompson added 22 points and Tobias Harris scored 17 as Detroit stayed alive in the series. Now the Pistons are home again and filled with confidence as they believe they are the better team. Detroit is 5-1 ATS its past six home games against teams with .600 road winning percentages. The Knicks are 8-1 UNDER their past nine games as road underdogs. The Pistons have allowed 103 or fewer points in three of the past four games in the series. Take the Pistons and the UNDER.
