The Detroit Pistons will be in a big matchup against the New York Knicks, as the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the Eastern Conference face off. The Pistons and Knicks have quite a history with each other, dating back to the first round of last season's playoffs, and whenever they go up against each other, it's a good game.
Heading into the matchup, the Pistons are dealing with some injuries, with Jalen Duren having a sore right knee and Tobias Harris having a sore left hip.
The Pistons just played the first game of a back-to-back, so this could lead to their standing for the Knicks game, but they are currently listed as such.

Toyah Harris, Jalen Duren injury status vs. Knicks
Harris is listed as probable, while Duren is listed as questionable against the Knicks. Duran left the game against the Washington Wizards due to knee pain after playing only 13 minutes and did not return. As far as Harris is concerned, he did not play in the Wizards game and it seems like he is more likely to miss the contest against the Knicks.
The Pistons lost to the Wizards, which was a surprise to many, even without two of their key players. However, anyone can be beaten on any given night in the league and a loss like this should not hurt the Pistons' confidence.
They know it's a big matchup against the Knicks, and there's a possibility they could meet each other at some point in the playoffs. If Duren plays, he will be key in the matchup, he will have to go up against a frontcourt that features Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson.
As for Harris, he will be competing against players like Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby, as they have played well for the Knicks this season as well.
