NBA Best Bets Parlay (+238):

  • Pistons First Half +4.5 (-118)
  • Nikola Jokic Over 27.5 Points (-110)

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. The Pistons trailed by just two at halftime and even led by eight in the fourth quarter. 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.
