The Pistons are tough on both ends of the floor, but they\u2019ve been more beatable of late, losing three of their last five. Lucky for the visitors, Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris will both be out tonight. The Knicks will be without Josh Hart and Landry Shamet, but should be mostly intact otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tip off is 7:00 p.m. EST on Peacock.
