The New York Knicks host the Detroit Pistons tonight in Game 2 of their first-round matchup in the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
Monday night’s game at Madison Square Garden is the last scheduled home game in the series before it shifts to Detroit. The series follows a 2-3-2 format, with the third-seeded Knicks holding home-court advantage.
That means the next three games will be played in Detroit — and there’s a real chance the series could wrap up without returning to New York for Games 6 and 7.
Though the Knicks are up in the series 1-0, Detroit proved they’re no pushover. The Pistons led into the 4th on Saturday, but the Knicks went on a 21-0 run to secure the Game 1 victory.
After a successful rebuilding effort, the Pistons are a competitive team and will give the Knicks a run for their money. Tonight’s game will be well worth yours.
Knicks fans in the Midwest — and superfans like Spike Lee willing to make the trip — can also see the team play this week in Detroit.
