With the series tied 1-1, New York stole Game 3 on the road, and our Knicks vs. Pistons prediction asks whether Detroit can bounce back at home to even things up.

The Pistons serve as small 1.5-point betting favorites - according to our best sports betting sites - at home for Sunday's game, which tips off at 1 p.m. ET (ABC) from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Our NBA picks expect another tightly contested affair, but will the result be any different this time?

🏀 Game 4 prediction & best bet

🎯 Score prediction: Pistons 111, Knicks 109

Yes, we're predicting another 2-point victory, but it'll the Pistons who celebrate when the final buzzer goes this time around.

Detroit had a clear advantage from beyond the arc in Game 3, hitting 16 of 37 threes (43%) to the Knicks' 12 on 32 attempts (37.5%). That came despite Malik Beasley - a 41.6% 3-point shooter during the regular season - hitting just two of his 10 attempts. I'm looking for Beasley to keep firing, as those shots will start to fall. 

Tim Hardaway Jr. also bounced back in a big way from his donut in Game 2, and I think he'll carry that momentum into Game 4. The biggest advantage the Pistons have in this game, though, is the crowd.

Little Caesars Arena was rocking in Game 3, and with their backs against the wall, I expect the crowd to be even more raucous on Sunday afternoon.

It's those momentum-shifting moments that can swing a game from a tight loss to a win, and it'll lead to the latter in Game 4.
