The New York Knicks will host the Detroit Pistons in the Game 5 to wrap up the first-round series and qualify for the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pistons had a great story in the NBA this season and they also ended their longest losing streak in the playoffs but they failed to deliver in throughout the series.

With the first-round series stand at 3-1 in favor of New York, Detroit have to replicate the form of the regular season where they had a 3-1 record against the Knicks. A playoff berth since 2019 and a playoff win since 2008 are two major achievements for the Pistons. But, the fans want more this time and Detroit need a crucial victory to take this series to Game 6.

Let’s figure out the key details from both teams’ injury report and its impact on overall performances.
