Pistons First Half +4.5 Analysis: Detroit showed remarkable resilience in Game 1, staying competitive with New York for 40 minutes before a late 21-0 Knicks run.

With Jalen Brunson visibly affected by an ankle injury and Cade Cunningham likely to improve on his 8-of-21 shooting performance, Detroit is well-positioned to keep the first half close.

Jokic Over 27.5 Points Analysis: Despite a slower Game 1 pace, Jokic managed 29 points (27 in regulation) on 12-of-24 shooting. His regular season performances against the Clippers were impressive, including a 41-point outing. With interim coach David Adelman showing a preference for faster-paced play and Jokic's consistent scoring ability, exceeding 27.5 points is a strong possibility.
