Let's take a look at the injury report of the Pistons and the Knicks ahead of their match up on Thursday.
The Detroit Pistons (43-36) are set to host the New York Knicks (50-29) in their third-last game of the regular season on Thursday, April 10. The Pistons are coming on the back of a two-game losing streak, going down against the Grizzlies and the Kings. The Knicks, on the other hand, suffered a 119-117 defeat against the Celtics, a loss that halted their two-game winning streak.
The upcoming game is a potential first-round playoff preview as the Pistons are firmly placed on the sixth seed. The Knicks have also firmly occupied the No. 3 seed in the East. In the worst case scenario, if the Knicks end up losing all three of their remaining games and the Pacers win their three, then they would end up taking over the Knickerbockers in the standings.
However, it is a highly-unlikely scene, and in case both Knicks and Pacers finish with the same record, the tiebreaker would go to the Knicks.
With the playoff season approaching, each win matters, and hence, both Knicks and the Pistons will be very cautious moving ahead. Let’s have a look at how their injury reports look ahead of the fixture-
