The Detroit Pistons (10-30) are coming into tonight's game off the back of a 135-106 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Their opponents tonight, the Golden State Warriors (20-18), are currently riding high on a five-game winning streak.

The Pistons have had a tough season thus far. They endured a six-game losing skid last month and have frequently floundered on the defensive end of the court. Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic continues to lead the charge on offense for the most part.

The Warriors, meanwhile, have bounced back from a topsy-turvy start to the season. Their latest victory was an exhausting 143-141 2OT takedown of the Atlanta Hawks.

Pistons vs. Warriors Prediction

Despite being riddled with injuries and missing star player Stephen Curry, the Warriors have looked strong lately. They'll enjoy the home-court advantage tonight which, given their general track record this season, is great news for the Oakland outfit.

On offense, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole have more than risen to the occasion of late. Thompson scored an incredible 54 points against the Hawks in their latest win.

The Pistons, meanwhile, are having a dire season and are coming into this off the back of an absolute trouncing against the Trail Blazers. Even top players like Bojan Bogdanovic will likely struggle to keep the team afloat against the Warriors tonight. Despite being hurt and under-manned, the Oakland crew should be able to get the job done tonight.

Prediction: Warriors -6.5 (-110)
