Warriors vs Pistons Prediction

The current betting odds have the Pistons listed as an 8 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pistons are off to a bad start this season but they have looked a lot better in their home games and they still have a very young and developing team that is learning how to play together still. They won their 1st game of the season and have lost 5 games in a row since then but their 1 win came at home and this is where they have their best chance to win. It will be hard for them to beat the defending NBA champions here but the Warriors haven't been as good in their road games this year and this is a big number for them to cover. The Pistons will be motivated to win after 5 losses in a row and they will bring their best effort against the defending champions here. The Pistons probably don't have much of a chance to win this game but they can keep it close enough to cover. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pistons to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
“I thought it was our best defensive game, which isn’t saying much given the other four. It just felt like a more typical Warriors performance where we were getting stops consistently and then getting out and running.... Other than a few careless turnovers I thought it was the best we've played at both ends, and of course Steph was just sublime. What he's doing is incredible. He just gets by anybody. It doesn't matter who's on him, he gets right into the teeth of the defense, finishes, finds guys. He's been spectacular here to start the year." - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Heat on Thursday.
 
 
“This is the first night I didn't see that commitment on the defensive end of the floor. They shot almost 57% and that's just a sign of lack of commitment.” - Dwane Casey after his team’s loss against the Hawks on Friday.
