The New York Knicks are facing potential lineup challenges ahead of their game against the Detroit Pistons, with key players listed as questionable. Jalen Brunson is dealing with a back/rib issue, while Karl-Anthony Towns has a new knee injury. Cameron Payne remains day-to-day with an elbow issue.

Coach Tom Thibodeau has noted the importance of these players, especially Towns, who has been a standout since joining the team. The Knicks are hoping for their return to maintain momentum in the season.
