NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Knicks to cover:
“While I am a supporter of the Pistons and JB Bickerstaff for Coach of the Year, I don’t love this spot for the Pistons even with Cade Cunningham back. Jalen Brunson has looked good in two games back, while Detroit has gotten comfortable over the last few weeks without their leading scorer and passer. It may take a little to shake off the rust for Detroit’s offense, so I lean toward the Knicks with the points, which opened at +5 down to +3.5 and the Team Total Under 116.5 on the Pistons.”
