Pistons vs Knicks Prediction, Projected Score & Pick

Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks · Tue, Oct 27, 2026

HoopVantage's Oct 27, 2026 prediction: New York Knicks over the Pistons by 3.9 points, a 63% win probability, with a projected final of Pistons 110, Knicks 114 (total 224.2).

The model projects New York Knicks to win by 3.9 points (63% win probability), projected score NYK 114, DET 110, total 224.2 (80% range 201–248). The largest driver is player box-score production (1.2 points toward NYK).

Matchup

Detroit Pistons rank 4 of 30 in the HoopVantage power rating (+3.6 points against an average opponent, about 52 projected wins in 2026-27); New York Knicks rank 3 (+4.5, about 51 wins). On a neutral floor that gap is worth 0.9 points to New York Knicks; home court, rest, travel and the projected rotations move it to the 3.9-point margin above. A 63% win probability means New York Knicks should win about 6 of 10 games like this one, so the other side winning is a normal outcome, not an upset of the model.
