As Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green enters the playoff as an underdog in the Western Conference, he's warning New York Knicks All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns of their series against the underdog Detroit Pistons. Towns will have his hands full with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart defending him, which Green was quick to point out.

The New York Knicks will face the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. The Pistons are in the postseason for the first time since 2019. Game 1 between the Knicks and Pistons is on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Detroit went 3-1 against New York in the regular season.

It is the Pistons’ ferocity and fearlessness that has made them the pet pick of some despite the Knicks being heavy favorites in the series.
