00:00 I'm certainly waiting to the under for the Pistons and the Knicks tonight in Madison Square Garden.
00:08 11 point spread in favor of New York. The total at 223. This should be a gift for the Knicks who have not been playing good basketball.
00:16 They've dropped six of their last eight. I don't know if they'll cover as a double digit home favorite inside MSG against Detroit, but they should win this game outright.
00:23 No, they should win this game outright. And you're right about looking at that under also. You take a look at the Pistons who had a post-ball game on Saturday, I believe it was, against the Orlando Magic.
00:33 Do you think that the Pistons are going to win this game? Probably not. But how many times do we use that type of scenario and say, well, all right, it's a four and a half or five and a half point game.
00:40 If you don't think they can win it, there's no way you could bet them as the dog. Well, the Pistons can lose this game and lose it by double digits and still get the cover.
00:47 That's the angle I'm looking at here. And until I see a full gas effort here out of the Knicks, I don't just mean Jalen Brunson playing well in Josh Hart when they get their superstars back on the lineup.
00:56 Sure, they'll be able to run some of these bad teams like the Pistons up a flagpole. But the Knicks right now in a position where they're saying, look, it ain't about style points and winning by 20 to 25 points on a home court.
01:06 Let's just get a victory and move on here with the Pistons. So I'll take the points that with the Detroit Pistons, I'll take the double digits.
01:12 They have played has New York 25 games in the calendar year 2024. They have been under in 21 of 25. The Pistons have been better at covering numbers as Donnie just alluded to now is an underdog this year.
01:28 Detroit is profitable, which we never thought we would say amidst the historic losing skid where they hardly covered Detroit now 26, 24 and one against the number as an underdog.
01:39 They have covered in seven of its last 11 games. The Pistons have covered in 13 of their last 18 despite a five losing skid, a five game losing skid in which Detroit has gone under in all five games.
01:54 And that's the end of the show. Thank you for watching.
