Warriors vs. Pistons predictions and picks
Prediction
Pistons 110, Warriors 121
Moneyline
PASS.
Even though the Warriors are by far the more dominant team, they also played Charlotte on Saturday and lost. They should not be played at this price, and the Pistons are not worth watching either, especially at home.
In the negative
WARRIORS AT -7.5 (-103).
In terms of free throw attempts, the Hornets nearly outnumbered the Warriors while Golden State only hit 29.5% from beyond the arc. There is little possibility that either of things will occur again.
The Warriors, who are a top club on both sides of the ball, ought to easily overwhelm a Pistons squad that is having a terrible time.
Due to its poor shooting and defensive play, Detroit has the lowest net rating in the league. The Pistons have suffered four of their five losses by this margin against less talented opponents than the Cavaliers.
Over/Under
OVER 229.5 LEAN (-110).
Although they should win the bet, the Warriors’ defence has been a shambles compared to last season. They also play with the second-fastest pace in the league and frequently fumble the ball (21st in turnover rate).
This frantic pace ought to result in lots of points being scored against a youthful Pistons squad that includes Cunningham and G Jaden Ivey. Detroit actually has the 8th-best offensive rebounding rate, so its ability to score could benefit from the speed and rebounding.
In this fight, back the Over 229.5 (-110)
