00:00New York Knicks will take on the Detroit Pistons in Game 2.

00:03Of course, the Knicks went on an epic run there to take care of business,

00:06not only to win but cover the spread in Game 1.

00:08As you see the adjustment here on the FanDuel Sportsbook,

00:11the Pistons are only 6.5-point dogs.

00:14They were 7-7.5-point dogs in Game 1.

00:16Does that tell us maybe this game could potentially be closer tonight?

00:20Yeah, I think it does give the respect that the Pistons warranted

00:23because they had an opportunity on Saturday.

00:26They just haven't been there before,

00:28and most of them haven't been there before, and the Knicks have.

00:30When you think about Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Carl Anthony Towns,

00:32these guys who have been in big playoff moments,

00:35that experience is really important in situations like this,

00:38and I expect more of the same tonight.

00:40There's an interesting injury situation with Isaiah Stewart.

00:42It might not be available for the Pistons tonight.

00:44So have an eye on that as far as what that means for Detroit defensively.

00:48But again, New York, that home crowd behind them, all of those things.

00:51I don't think Detroit is going to be phased by it,

00:54but I do think that the Knicks experience and just being prepared for it

00:57definitely works in their favor.
