The New York Knicks are still seeking their first win of the season, and now they host the undefeated Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. The game tips off at 7 PM ET and will air on NBC/Peacock, MSG, and DAZN-MSG.

The Knicks are coming off a 111-102 loss to the Orlando Magic, sending them to 0-3 on the year with losses to the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, and Magic. They are the third defending champions to start the season 0-3 since the 2011-12 Dallas Mavericks started 0-4. They’ll hit the road for two games after this one.

The Pistons have started the season 3-0 with victories over the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia 76ers. Last year’s number one seed in the East has picked up where they left off in the regular season to begin the year, and now looks to sweep their three-game road trip against the Knicks before returning home.

This is the first meeting of the season between the two squads.

Jose Alvarado is OUT with a right ankle sprain. He missed Sunday’s game against the Magic. In two games this season, he’s averaging five points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 13.5 minutes off the bench. He is listed as day-to-day.

The Knicks will once again start Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns. Brunson, Towns, and Anunoby all scored 20+ in the loss to Orlando.

Landry Shamet, Tyler Kolek, Miles McBride, Andre Drummond, James Wiseman, and Jordan Clarkson all played more than five minutes off the bench for New York against Orlando, but they combined for just 11 points.

Jalen Duren is OUT with a right hamstring strain. Duren was injured on October 23 against the Miami Heat. He is set to be reevaluated in two weeks.

Ausar Thompson is QUESTIONABLE with a right ankle sprain. Thompson was also injured against the Heat, but is listed as day-to-day. He’s averaging 7.5 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in two games this season.

Isaiah Joe is QUESTIONABLE with a right hip contusion. Joe suffered a hard fall after a dunk against the Sixers and left the game after just four minutes of playing time.

Elijah Harkless and Isaac Jones are QUESTIONABLE on G-League two-way deals while Ugonna Onyenso is OUT on a G-League two-way deal.

With Thompson and Duren out, Detroit started Daniss Jenkins, John Collins, Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, and Paul Reed against the 76ers. Thompson will be back in the starting lineup if he’s available to play.

Kevin Huerter, Ron Holland, and Javonte Green all played 20 minutes off the bench.
