00:00How does Detroit respond?
00:02How can New York continue the momentum it found in that fourth quarter of our opening game on Saturday night?
00:09Seven points spread in favor of the Knicks, total at 220 and a half.
00:14Same total live right now on the FanDuel Sportsbook for that closing number we saw in game number one.
00:19In fact, DRS, game to game, despite New York winning in dramatic fashion, the odds really have remained the same.
00:26What do we see tonight inside MSG?
00:28We're hoping for a bounce back for the Pistons, right?
00:31So we get a good extended series, but it's also going to be the make of that team and how their coach gets them prepared to play in this game.
00:37Because understanding the way you lose sometimes is worse than just taking the loss itself.
00:42You know, it just didn't have it lost by 25 points.
00:44Let's see if we can rebound and get back under it.
00:46You should have won game number one.
00:47So the psychology coming into the first quarter, you think Detroit is going to want to start fast and say, you know what?
00:52There is no hangover.
00:53We're going to be here about business.
00:55Or is it the New York Knicks that say, boy, we didn't play all that well over the first three quarters.
00:59We finally found our groove defensively and offensively in the fourth quarter.
01:02Let's extend that into the first half here and not give the Detroit Pistons any life here to think that they can actually come back into the series.
01:08And we'll take that two-low series lead back to take on the Pistons in Detroit.
01:12Having said that, there's two points I look at.
01:14Because you know me, game number one, I really liked Jalen Brunson to go over the 27 and a half points.
01:18He hit that goes for 30 again.
01:20Hot players here staying on the mark because I don't think this game is going to slow down per se.
01:24And Brunson, the only reason why I only scored 30 low 30s, he started really slow in that game.
01:29If he was cooking early, you might have been looking at a 40-plus point effort for him.
01:33So I expect to come back at a 28 and a half number.
01:35It's minus 102 right now in the FanDuel Sportsbook from the opposite side.
01:39Like Tobias Harris had a great performance in game number one.
01:42He's going to need to step up in a similar fashion.
01:44He goes mid-20s game number one.
01:46Now you see him at 15 and a half at a plus 104 price.
01:48They're sticking that there's like a buyer beware.
01:51But I got to tell you, I'm back in on Tobias Harris tonight.
01:54I love good performances in game-to-game basis because I'm always under the belief that professional athletes aren't like,
01:59whew, got a good game here, let me in game number two, not press my luck down.
02:03They knew you're always going to take more shots and continue to have a hot-handed game number two.
02:07So two-player prospects for me, Brunson as well as Tobias Harris.
02:11But in this game, the seven points, I got to tell you, I sort of feel the Pistons again.
02:15Like I think they can rebound from that performance and say,
02:16guys, we were the better team until we fell into a 21-0 hole.
02:20We can hang around, at least get the cover of around seven points here.
