TV: NBA
After finishing last season with a 21-45 record the Knicks are going to look for some improvement. To that end the Knicks will be looking to Obi Toppin to come in and play like he did in college and become a leader. However, the Knicks will also look for more contribution from RJ Barrett who is slated to make just over 8 million dollars this year.
The leading scorer for the Knicks last year was Julius Randle. Randle scored a total of 19.5 points a game. However, Randle also help to clean up the boards for the Knicks who ended up getting a total of 9.7 rebounds per game on the year. Randle is coming back this year after getting 18.9 million dollars in his contract.

The Pistons are coming to the season after finishing last year with a 20-46 record. That led to the Pistons sitting 32.5 games out of first place. The worst part is the Pistons did not really add much in the way of talent to help them out and will most likely be relying on Blake Griffin again this year and that would definitely help explain why Griffin makes 36 million dollars.
Now, Griffin coming to the Pistons could be a welcome sight if he improves on the scoring. Derrick Rose ended up leading the Pistons in scoring last year with 18.1 points a game. The rebounding lead was Andre Drummond who did great in the rebounding department pulling down a total of 15.8 boards per game for the Pistons last year, but he is not coming back this season.

With this game neither one of these teams did really good last year. That will definitely be a problem in the game here as it will be sloppy and both teams will try to find a good fit for their entire team. Now, the one thing that the Knicks have going for them is they will have a good run with Toppin in the game here adjusting and playing good enough to get the Knicks a win. Final Score, New York Knicks win 86-78.
