Detroit @ New York

Current Records: Detroit 1-0; New York 0-1

What to Know

The Detroit Pistons will square off against the New York Knicks on the road at 7:30 p.m. ET Friday at Madison Square Garden. Detroit hasn't won a matchup against the Knicks since Nov. 6 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought.

Detroit sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 113-109 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. Having forecasted a close victory for the Pistons, the oddsmakers were right on the money. Bojan Bogdanovic (24 points) was the top scorer for Detroit.

Speaking of close games: New York fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 115-112. The loss was just more heartbreak for New York, who fell 118-114 when the teams previously met in March. R.J. Barrett had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with 11 points on 3-for-18 shooting in his 37 minutes on the court.

Detroit's victory lifted them to 1-0 while New York's defeat dropped them down to 0-1. We'll see if the Pistons can repeat their recent success or if the Knicks bounce back and reverse their fortune.
