Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors preview
The Pistons have been a revelation this season. After ending the past season with the worst record in the league, they have bounced back and how. Detroit has won eight of its past 10 games and looked poised for a top-six finish in the standings to confirm a playoff spot.
Detroit is coming off of a 123-115 loss to the LA Clippers on Wednesday. Cade Cunningham was his prolific self with 37 points and 10 assists but got very little help from the rest of the starters. Dennis Schroder stepped up from the bench with 21 points.
The Warriors are fresh off of a 4-1 road trip and have the next seven games at home. They are 10-2 in the Jimmy Butler era and 10-1 when he plays. They are on a three-game winning streak and have won eight of their past 10 games.
Golden State is fresh off a 121-119 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. The West Coast team was down 22 points in the first quarter but made its way back to a crucial win.

Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors prediction
The oddsmakers favor the Warriors to get a win at home. They will be helped by Jaden Ivey’s absence from the Pistons starting lineup as he recovers from a lower leg injury. We expect Golden State to cover the spread for a win in a high-scoring game where the team total goes past 233 points.
