Game 6 Showdowns: Can the Underdogs Shock the NBA Playoffs on Thursday?

The odds are the best available at the time of writing. 

New York (3-2) “played with its food,” so to speak, and goes to Detroit for Game 6. Granted, losing at home is a bad look, but the Knicks have as good of a chance of eliminating the Pistons in Motown as The Garden. NYK gets tight at home and there is weird energy in Madison Square Garden when they struggle in big games. 

Also, Detroit is a year away because All-Star PG Cade Cunningham just doesn’t have enough help. Pistons third-year SG Jaden Ivey, who has been sidelined since January with a broken leg, could turn into Cade’s Robin next season. But, Detroit SGs Tim Hardaway Jr. and Malik Beasley are shooting terribly in this series, and are being guarded by good defenders.
