Detroit is playing the second game of a back-to-back situation and overall they are just plain bad when it comes to playing away from Detroit.

New York has been playing well this season and is at home against a Pistons team that is struggling in all areas of their game. New York comes away with a win over a tired and depleted New York Knick team.

Play on New York.
