The Detroit Pistons are slumping at exactly the wrong time. Stan Van Gundy’s team is in the middle of a three-game losing streak causing them to fall one game out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons are desperate for a win Monday night. The New York Knicks? Not so much.
With the playoffs out of reach, New York is best served to tank for the best draft pick possible, and as of now, they’re in a three-way tie with Philadelphia and Orlando for the fourth-worst record in the league.
The Knicks shouldn’t have a problem losing to Detroit.
