This afternoon at 5:00 pm EST the Detroit Pistons (35-40) will be at Madison Square Garden to play against the New York Knicks. (27-49)

The Knicks are without a lot of people from earlier in the season. Kristaps Porzingis has been hurt for a while, and Enes Kanter is going to be out today as well.

Likewise, the Pistons will be without Blake Griffin tonight as he recovers from an ankle injury.

The Pistons playoff chances are incredibly slim at this point, and any loss will likely be the final nail in the coffin.
