Knicks Game Tonight: Knicks vs Pistons Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV channel for Oct. 21
Friday night Knicks are officially back. New York (0-1) will host the Detroit Pistons (1-0) at Madison Square Garden tonight. The latest odds favor the Knicks, who are in search of their first regular season win.
New York beat Detroit in the preseason, 117-98, but as we know, the regular season is a different beast. The Pistons are coming off a 113-109 win over Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic. Detroit battled back from being down by double digits early on, thanks to a team-high 24 points from veteran shooter Bojan Bogdanovic (8-of-16). Jaden Ivey scored 19 (8-of-15) in his first official game and Cade Cunningham had 18 points (6-of-16) and 10 assists.
New York battled back from being down by 19 points on Wednesday to force overtime, and that was with RJ Barrett (3-of-18) playing poorly. The Knicks will have the opportunity to rebound from a tough road loss in front of their fans at MSG tonight.
Will New York be able to take down its first Eastern Conference opponent of the 2022-23 regular season?

Knicks Injury Report
Quentin Grimes missed Wednesday’s season opener with a sore left foot and will be out again versus Detroit.
New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Pistons’ confidence is high after downing the Magic at home, but their next task will be considerably more challenging. The Knicks came close to knocking off one of the top teams in the league on the road and should rebound with a win on Friday.
New York’s defense will need to be considerably better, especially with guarding Bogdanovic on the perimeter and attacking Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham. It’s hard to see RJ Barrett not being able to bounce back from his disappointing performance. Expect him to be more of a factor tonight as the Knicks make their way to 1-1.
New York 107, Detroit 98
