2025 NBA Playoffs: New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons first-round series odds

The New York Knicks are one win away from reaching the second round of the NBA Playoffs for the third straight season.

New York won both Games 3 and 4 on the road in Detroit and now lead the series 3-1, with the Pistons hanging on for dear life and a +1250 shot to come back and win the series. Just 13 teams in league history have overcome a 3-1 series deficit in the playoffs.

The Pistons will feel hard done by to be down 3-1. Two crucial no-calls - first on a potential backcourt violation by New York late in Game 3, then on a potential Knicks foul on a Detroit three-pointer as time expired in Game 4 – have directly impacted the outcomes of the last two games.

Still, the Knicks, particularly stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have delivered when it mattered most. In the fourth quarter of Games 3 and 4, Brunson averaged 13.5 points on 11/17 FG and Towns averaged 7.5 points on 5/8 FG.

Can the Pistons stay alive by getting a win at MSG in Game 5? Or will the Knicks close it out?
