Pistons vs. Knicks Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, Oct. 27

A pair of Eastern Conference contenders face off for the first time in the 2026-27 season on Tuesday night, as the defending champion New York Knicks host Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden. The 2026-27 season has not gotten off to a great start for New York, which is 0-3 and 29th in the league in offensive rating. Mike Brown’s team has losses to Philadelphia, Boston and Orlando – three teams it’ll likely be competing with for a playoff spot in the East. So, a loss to Detroit on Tuesday would be yet another blow to a team that dominated the 2026 postseason. Meanwhile, the Pistons have weathered injuries to Ausar Thompson (questionable tonight) and Jalen Duren (out tonight) to beat Boston, Miami and Philly to open the season.

Stroud (7) runs with the ball against Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker (44) during the second half at Wembley Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The Jaguars' edge-rushing duo of Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker have not lived up to expectations thus far.

Connecticut’s four-year graduation rate tops 90% for the first time since 2010-11

HARTFORD — More Connecticut high schoolers are earning college credits, and more are finishing high school in four years, according to new state data released Tuesday by the state Department of Education. Education officials announced the 2025-26 results from the Next Generation Accountability System, which is the state's way of measuring school and district performance across multiple areas — showing where Connecticut students have made the most progress, and where they are behind. "These results demonstrate that higher levels of achievement (are) indeed possible and occurring, and we're working to accelerate student outcomes statewide. Our goal, and frankly expectation, is not to meet our pre-pandemic levels of achievement, but to exceed them," said Connecticut Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker during a press conference on Tuesday. During the press conference at the…
