The set-up: I base my picks on many different things. This particular one is based entirely around the fact that Detroit played and won big at home just last night over the Nuggets. The Pistons were desperate for a victory, but after that emotional come from behind win, I think a predictable letdown is inevitable in the second game of the back to back facing an equally as hungry/desperate Knicks side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Detroit is just 14-22 ATS in its last 36 when playing on back-to-back days, while New York is 20-13 ATS this year trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. Grab the points, expect a nail-biter.
