The New York Knicks look to bounce back after an overtime loss at home to the Boston Celtics.
The Knicks are 50-29 and currently hold the third seed in the Eastern Conference. They have a chance to clinch that spot with a win over the Detroit Pistons, a team they're likely to face in the First Round of the playoffs. New York is playing well on both ends of the floor and has gone 5-2 in its last seven games, with both losses coming against the top two teams in the conference.
The Pistons are 43-36 and sit in the sixth seed. They still have a shot at the fifth seed, but they would need to win their final three games and hope the Milwaukee Bucks lose all three of theirs. Detroit has dropped two games in a row, with inconsistent play on both offense and defense.
