Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 19, 2026

Detroit's 126–111 victory over New York represented a 15-point margin that masked a far tighter contest for three quarters before the Pistons pulled away decisively in the fourth.

The combined 237 points landed well north of the 218.5 market total, cashing an 18.5-point over despite DAGGER's pregame under call. The first half stayed controlled, with just 106 combined points across 48 minutes, but the second half exploded: 131 combined points in the final 24, and Q4 alone produced 68 points—the game's highest-scoring quarter. That fourth-quarter outburst proved decisive. Detroit's offense accelerated late, while New York managed only 32 in the final frame.

Cade Cunningham led Detroit's charge with 42 points, 8 rebounds, and 13 assists—a near triple-double performance that anchored the Pistons' late-game dominance. Paul Reed added 18 and 7 boards off the bench, and Tobias Harris chipped in 11 points and 10 rebounds. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson matched Cunningham's intensity with 33 points and 8 assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 21 points and 11 rebounds. Landry Shamet's 15 points kept New York competitive early, but Detroit's depth and offensive efficiency in the fourth quarter ultimately proved too much. This marked Detroit's third straight dominance of the Knicks this season—the Pistons' margin of victory now 17 points across their last two meetings.
