Warriors at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Pistons 108

Moneyline

Both teams are playing on the back end of a back-to-back so we could see someone unexpectedly out of the lineup, which could throw things off. I don't have the confidence to pick Detroit, but I also wouldn't advise taking Golden State at -250 after they lost to the Pistons twice last year.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors are 3-4 ATS this season but 3-2 on the road. They also have a 4-1 record straight up on the road. This spread is absolutely manageable as long as Curry isn't a late scratch.

Take the WARRIORS -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Both meetings last season cashed an Over. The Warriors are 2-5 O/U and have alternated Overs and Unders cashing in the last 4 with the Under coming through in the last game. Detroit is 4-3 with Overs cashing in the last 2 and 4 of the last 5. The Warriors are 15th at 115.6 points per game, and the Pistons are 20th with 109.4 per game.

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-110).
