New York Knicks Form
New York head back to Detroit having passed up on the chance to clinch the series at home.
The Knicks began the series with a 123-112 home win over the Pistons, only to drop the next meeting at the Garden, 100-94.
They rebounded in fine style on the road though, moving within one win of the next round as they won 118-116 and 94-93 at Little Caesars Arena.
New York had the chance to wrap up this series on Tuesday, but they blew their chance as they stumbled late to lose 106-103.
The Knicks earned their playoff place by putting together a 51-31 record to finish third in the Eastern Conference standings.
Detroit Pistons Form
Detroit return home having kept the series alive with a huge Game 5 victory in New York on Tuesday night.
The Pistons opened the series on the road and suffered a 123-112 defeat in the ‘Big Apple’, but they issued an immediate response as they took the second meeting, 100-94.
They failed to build on that victory though, and found themselves behind the 8-ball when they lost back-to-back home games, 118-116 and 94-93.
That meant a defeat in Game 5 would end their season, but Detroit rose to the challenge with a 106-103 victory to fend off elimination and force Game 6.
The Pistons ended their playoff drought by putting together a 44-38 record to finish sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.
Verdict
These two teams continued to engage in close games, and New York have been a good spread bet on the road recently.
They are also perfect in Detroit in this series, so give us the Knicks and the free bucket.
