Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks key stats

The Pistons have been poor thus far. They haven’t performed up to standard, winning only three of their opening 11 games of the season. They are coming into this game on the back of a 112-128 loss against the Boston Celtics in their last game. The Pistons were outclassed by the Boston side as the star duo of Tatum and Brown ran riot, scoring 60 points between them.

It was a terrible showing by the Detroit side from beyond the arc, only making 7 of their 33 attempted three-pointers. They weren’t great within the perimeter either as the Celtics scored 48 in the paint as compared to the Pistons’ 42.

It was a particularly miserable performance by star guard Cade Cunningham, scoring only four points on the night. He had a horrendous shooting night, making just 9% of his field goal attempts. He attempted 11 field goals, converting just one, and also went 0-6 from three.

Cunningham has been the stalwart for this struggling Pistons side and has been pivotal for them whenever they got a positive result.

Although he hasn’t been efficient at all, his volume of attempts has garnered him very positive numbers for the season. He is currently averaging 23 points per game, in addition to 6 assists and 6 rebounds. If the Pistons are to get anything close to a victory tonight, Cunningham needs to find his rhythm back and turn up big time.

The Knicks have been inconsistent this term. They have provided amazing entertainment by beating some of the big boys, but at the same time, they have lost games that they shouldn’t have.

They are currently 5-6 and are coming into this game on the back of a torrid outing against the Nets, which they lost convincingly 112-85. They were outclassed across all fronts in the battle of New York. The Nets had more boards, points in the paint, steals, blocks, and assists. The Knicks shot the ball terribly, only making 32% of their attempted field goals and only 28% of their threes.

Julius Randle led the scoring for the NY side in their last game, with 24 points. He is the leading for them this season, averaging 20.5 per game. He has been very efficient this season, with a true shooting % of 57.5. He has recently been on a hot streak, scoring 24, 31, and 29 over the last three games.

Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks Final Prediction:

The Detroit side haven’t been great, but have a lot more to offer. Their young core has shown signs of brilliance and looks like they could be worth the expectation.

It was a rare off-night for Cade that sank Detroit in their last game but it is highly unlikely it happens again. Even though the Knicks are favored on paper, the Detroit side should win this.
