Why it Matters
The Detroit Pistons have been struggling this season and are projected to be a part of the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes (he is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft). However, the team has been competitive when playing inside LCA, especially against relatively unspectacular opponents. On the other hand, the Knicks have gone five straight games without winning by more than six points and have struggled to score in recent games.
