The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 27-22 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They have looked great on their home court too with their 17-7 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Pistons have looked great in their games this season with their 34-11 record overall which has them right at the top of the East with one of the best record in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 15-6 road record this year. The Pistons have been rolling in their games lately with 2 wins in a row now and they are also 8-2 in their last 10 games, They are off a road win over the Nuggets in their last one too, but they aren't in a great situation here. They are still on the road and playing this game on a back-to-back with a tough game against the Suns the night before. The Warriors haven't been rolling like the Pistons have been lately, but the Warriors are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and coming off a road win over the Jazz in their last one. They really took a hit as a contender with Jimmy Butler going down for the season, but they still have a lot of talent that makes them a good team and they have looked a lot better in home games all year. They are also going to have the rest on their side here and they will bring their best effort for the team at the top of the standings in the East. Look for the Warriors to take advantage of the Pistons on a back-to-back and use this game at home to make a statement against one of the best teams in the NBA right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

"It's growth and maturity and it's experience, right? What we went through last year gave us the belief and confidence that we could and that's what it takes. That's the hardest thing to do is to begin to win cause there's so much that goes into it, there's so many plays on both sides of the floor that end up impacting winning and losing." - J.B. Bickerstaff on his team this season. 

“Now that he can play 24 minutes, which is where his restriction is, I feel comfortable starting him and still being able to close with him. We can work the math on that. And it’s nice having him with Draymond [Green] to start the game defensively. I like what I’m seeing from that group.” - Steve Kerr on Al Horford after his team’s win against the Jazz in their game on Wednesday.
