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.
Detroit Pistons vs. Knicks By the Numbers
- In their last five home games, the Pistons have lost by more than six points in regulation only once.
- Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 21.2 ppg on 41.5 three-point shooting for the season and has scored at least 20 points in eight consecutive contests.
- Saddiq Bey has scored 17, 31, and 20 points in the last three games and is coming off a double-double against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
- The Knicks have not scored 120 points in regulation since December 20, a stretch of 12 outings.
- New York has won the three previous meetings this season against Detroit by 24, 9, and 20 points.
