The Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks square off in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference series tonight. Our Pistons vs. Knicks player props - part of our NBA picks - expect a tighter defensive affair tonight, as the Pistons look to avoid leaving the Big Apple in a two-game hole.

Detroit let a lead slip late, and now the visitors have their work cut out for them after a disappointing end to Game 1. The Knicks are 6.5-point betting favorites at our best sports betting sites, with moneyline odds of -250 or longer. The series opener was a high-scoring showdown, but tonight's total is set at 220.5.

Can superstars, such as Jalen Brunson and Cade Cunningham, continue to shine tonight? Tipoff from Madison Square Garden in New York is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT).

🔥 Jalen Brunson Over 28.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This has been a great matchup for Brunson all season, and Game 1 of the series was no different. Brunson went 12-of-27 from the floor and 8-of-10 from the free throw line, scoring 34 points. It was his first 30-point game since March 6.

While Brunson scored just 15 in the last regular-season game he played against the Pistons, he scored at least 31 in his other three games against them this year. The Pistons have the 14th-ranked defense in the NBA, and because of how Brunson has exploited the Pistons’ defense all season, there’s no reason to fade him - even if the game is a little lower scoring than the opener was.

🔥 Cade Cunningham 3+ made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

After he went just 1-of-4 from deep in Game 1, don’t be surprised if a lot of bettors fade Cunningham tonight. However, that would be a short-sighted play, as Cunningham has shot the ball very well from beyond the arc against the Knicks this season.

Before Saturday’s game, Cunningham was shooting over 50% from long range against the Knicks, and he’d made at least 2 threes against them in all four of his games. In two of those four games, he made at least 4 3-pointers.

As a team, the Pistons shot nearly 50% from deep in Game 1. Therefore, it’s clear that the Knicks’ defense wasn’t the problem; Cunningham’s shooting was. Because of that, I expect him to bounce back tonight, and rather than take his standard line for -120 or worse, I’m backing this alt-line for a great price.

🔥 Dennis Schroder Over 4.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

Despite averaging 5.3 assists per game during the regular season, Schroder managed just 3 in the series opener. A major reason why he struggled so much was the poor shooting of Cunningham. With Cunningham shooting barely over 38% from the field, he started looking for his teammates, which led to him dishing out 12 assists and giving Schroder fewer opportunities.

Oddsmakers are so confident that Schroder will bounce back tonight that his total is set at 3.5, and the best price available is -140. Rather than pay way too much, I’m recommending this alt-line for a much better price. After all, Schroder has dished out at least 6 assists in two of his four games against the Knicks this season.

He is always looking for value, especially on lines that just seem too good to be true. His belief is that if a line doesn't make sense just assume oddsmakers know something you don't. He also loves in-season futures. There is so much value to be had as the public overreacts weekly. Bettors tend to forget just how long NFL and college football seasons are. After all, the Green Bay Packers were 2-5 in 2023 and they made it to the Divisional Round. When deciding where to bet, it comes down to value over everything. +100 is always better than -110. An alumnus of The U, Phil always holds out hope that the next head coach will be the one who turns the football program around. He is also a diehard Detroit Lions fan and is willing to forgive Dan Campbell for forgetting that a kicker can be useful.
