The Detroit Pistons will look for their second straight victory on Friday night when they host the new-look New York Knicks at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

The Knicks are the Pistons' sixth consecutive opponent in the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, although New York has a different lineup after pulling off two massive trades over the summer, one for Mikal Bridges and the other a month ago for Karl Anthony Towns.

Towns scored 44 points on 17-for-25 shooting, including 4 of 5 on 3-pointers, in a 116-107 win at Miami on Wednesday.
