The Detroit Pistons are heading on the road in part of the NBA’s Friday slate for an Eastern Conference matchup against the New York Knicks.
Detroit is coming into the game 1-0, defeating the Orlando Magic in their season opener. The Knicks weren’t as lucky, as they lost their season opener to the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime.
The newly acquired Bojan Bogdanovic made his presence felt immediately, as he scored a team-high 24 for Detroit. Former Knick Kevin Knox was also in the rotation, as he, Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks are all returning to The Big Apple.
Jalen Brunson made his debut in the orange and blue and had a solid game against Memphis despite early foul trouble. Cam Reddish had a huge game off the bench with 22 points while Julius Randle scored 24 to go along with 11 rebounds and six assists. But, that wasn’t enough to overcome the 3-of-18 shooting night RJ Barrett.

Barrett is in a good bounce-back spot to score and there could be value in the over on his points total after a tough season opener. Julius Randle and Robinson should find success on the boards against a smaller Pistons frontline as well.
