The Associated Press NEW YORK

NEW YORK (AP) - Cade Cunningham had 29 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds, and the Detroit Pistons beat the New York Knicks 120-111 on Saturday night.

Malik Beasley had 23 points off the bench and Jaden Ivey chipped in 16 for the Pistons, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

It was Cunningham’s fifth triple-double of the season, three behind league leader Nikola Jokic.

Jalen Brunson had 31 points and 10 assists, and Mikal Bridges finished with 20 points for the Knicks, who had their four-game winning streak stopped.

New York played without Karl-Anthony Towns, who was held out due to a sore right knee, and reserve Cam Payne. The Knicks also lost Josh Hart in the fourth quarter after he picked up his second technical foul.

Detroit led by 17 points in the third quarter before the Knicks outscored them over 27-14 over the final 10 minutes of the period to cut the lead 89-85.

New York made it a two-point game in the opening minute of the fourth quarter on Ariel Hukporti's dunk. The Pistons responded with a 12-2 run and took advantage of four turnovers by New York to increase the lead to 103-89 with 7:55 left in regulation.

Takeaways

Pistons: Cunningham had 21 points during the first half on 7-for-11 shooting from the field, including 5 for 7 from long distance

Knicks: Jericho Sims started in Towns' place and was scoreless in just six first-half minutes.

Pistons with the spread

We need a winning game tip in this match up. Whilst our player props tips have kept us liquid, we've blanked a game tip for a few days now, often with a short priced fav not quite covering the line. So our luck has to change right?

Whilst we forecast a win for NYK, we don't see it as a huge margin victory, so we are recommending a Pistons +9.5 bet

Dimers - predicting a 118-109 win for the Knicks at MSG, which would see a Pistons +9.5 bet return a winner.
Clutch Points - boldly stating that you can go up to -10.5 on the Knicks on the spread.
Pickswise - think the game will be tighter than the spread forecasts, so are tipping Pistons +9.5 if you can get it.
Sportskeeda - tbc at time of publishing
Betting Odds - forecasting a 116-107 win for New York, and thus a Pistons +9.5 bet
Sportsline - similar to everyone else, forecasting a heathy victory for NYK, but this time even healthier at 115-104, a slight lean towards Knicks -9.5, and a moderate feeling for Under 226.5.

Pistons at Knicks - Player Props Tips

We have two player prop bet tips for Knicks v Pistons.

Cade Cunningham: Over 37.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds at odds of 1.92. We'd put the line here at 38-40. We recommend a 2-point bet.

Cunningham hit 29 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a genuinely dominating performance that saw his total here hit 54 for a winning tip

Karl-Anthony Towns: Under 12.5 Rebounds at odds of 1.85. Averaging 9.2 in his last 6 games, KAT has missed his total here 4/6 times when playing weaker teams. We recommend a 1-point bet.

Towns didn't play, so this bet is a push
