Game Preview
The Pistons were denied a chance to win in Game 4. The final result was 93-91, but Tim Hardaway Jr. would have had three free throws if the refs called a foul, which they didn’t. And they were supposed to.
The three-point shooting killed the Pistons, who made only seven threes in 29 attempts. Compared to the Knicks’ 15 downtown hits, this is too few. Cade Cunningham had a triple-double with 25 points, 10 assists and boards. Tobias Harris added 18 buckets, while Jalen Duren scored 6 points yet had 17 boards.
Knicks’ superstar duo Brunson-Towns had 59 points combined. Brunson scored 32 and had 11 assists, and was briefly injured yet returned to the floor. KAT added 27 points with nine boards, and they both combined for 9 threes.

Josh Hart had another big-time role, grabbing 10 boards, yet scoring 14 points. He would drill three threes, and was the perfect support for his unit.
Pistons vs. Knicks Head to Head
Detroit won the seasonal series 3-1 and is now behind in the playoffs with the same result. So, overall, after eight meetings in this campaign, including the playoffs, the score is 4-4.
Pistons vs. Knicks Game 5 Predictions
This game will be the most physical of all because the Pistons are fighting for their lives here and are also angry because of Game 4 robbery. Be sure that the Knicks are going to match that aggressiveness and toughness. That’s why we pick under 212.5 points.
