NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Pistons against the Knicks.
- 1st Leg – Knicks WIN: The Knicks come into this matchup red-hot, having won 8 straight games and I think they make it 9 when they face the Pistons. They’ve also covered the line in 8 straight games and hold an impressive 11-2 record over the Pistons on the road.
- 2nd Leg – Under 224.5 Points: The total should go Under in a matchup between two strong defensive teams in the East. As such, the Under has gone 4-2 in their last 6 meetings. The Under is also 10-3 when the Pistons are playing on their home court.
