New York won the first meeting 108-96 on Dec. 29 when it shot 54.4 percent from the field and Carmelo Anthony finished with 24 points. The Knicks lost their second in a row 97-89 against Boston on Tuesday when they only 37.8 percent from the floor and just 6-of-20 from beyond the arc. Arron Afflalo scored 18 points and Robin Lopez added 17 points with 13 rebounds. Detroit has lost three of its last four games and playing its first home game after a three-game trip which ended with a 102-95 loss at Boston last night. Reggie Jackson led the Pistons with 17 points but his team finished with just a .376 field goal percentage. The Knicks are 9-4 ATS with one day of rest and the Pistons look like a tired team. Also, New York has covered the spread five of their last seven games in Detroit. Take the points and play the Knicks.
