The Warriors are coming into this game as a 14.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have not been winning a lot of games recently with 3 losses in their last 4 games. They have been missing some players from their lineup though but they should be getting them back for this game. Steve Kerr did not seem worried after their last loss and his exact words after that game were "It's OK, we will bounce back." The Pistons have been awful this season losing 2 of their last 3 games and those 2 losses were both by over 25 points. The Pistons will not be able to keep up on the road with a Warriors team that is getting healthier and looking for a win after a string of bad games. The Warriors should win this game in a blowout. The best bet to place here is on the Warriors to cover the spread here.

"That's a championship-tier team, and we're not at that level yet. We know that, and there's not much we can do about it right now. When we did things well, they were able to match us. Playing teams like that is how a young team learns to win." - Dwane Casey on his team’s loss against the Suns on Sunday night.
