We head to the Motor City as the Knicks look to end the series dead in its tracks opposite the Pistons.
With the Knicks checking in as 2.5-point underdogs, oddsmakers are expecting there to be a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
Money is coming in on the Pistons early as the line has moved from 1.5 to 2.5 points according to oddsmakers at BetMGM, who have still seen a steady diet of money come in on Detroit.
Tom Thibodeau’s group is +110 on the moneyline to win outright on Thursday.

Knicks vs. Pistons Game 6 prediction
The Knicks, as per usual, have been relying heavily on Jalen Brunson to keep the offense afloat when things get stale.
Perhaps least surprising is Karl-Anthony Towns’ usage in Knicks victories; he’s been at least the second-leading scorer in their three wins.
Towns embarrassingly didn’t take a shot in the fourth quarter of the Game 2 loss to the Pistons, and the Knicks will look to avoid that going forward.

The Knicks blew Game 5, and I suspect them to have a serious chip on their shoulder as they look to avoid a Game 7 here.
My model has the Knicks as near pick ’em status to the Pistons, so I have some value on New York’s moneyline in this one.
The Play: Knicks moneyline (+110, BetMGM)
