Karl-Anthony Towns scored 23 points on 10-for-14 shooting and went 1 for 3 from three-point range, marking the sixth time in seven games he has failed to exceed his 3-pointer prop of 1.5, despite earlier averages of two triples per game on 4.7 attempts.

Cunningham had a 1-for-4 record from three-point range in Game 1, marking only the second time in his last seven games with fewer than two triples, while averaging 2.1 makes on six attempts per game this season and previously hitting at least two in all four regular season games against New York.

Cunningham scored 21 points in Game 1, shooting 8-of-21 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range without his backcourt partner Jaden Ivey.

KAT made 1-of-3 three-pointers in Game 1, marking his eighth consecutive game with three or fewer attempts, while the Pistons ranked ninth in opponent 3-point frequency and had a 36.4% defensive efficiency against three-point shooters.

Tim Hardaway Jr. made 3-of-8 three-point attempts in Game 1, while Malik Beasley scored 20 points with a 6-of-12 shooting performance, but his defensive shortcomings may result in more playing time for Hardaway.
