2024-25 season series: Golden State won 2-0
Detroit was routed 114-96 by the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, failing to cover as a 3.5-point road favorite as the Under (214.5) hit. Cade Cunningham scored 26 and Jalen Duren finished with 23 points and 13 boards, but the Pistons shot just 6-of-29 (21%) from 3-point range in the loss.

Pistons at Warriors picks and predictionsPrediction
Warriors 108, Pistons 106
LEAN WARRIORS (-145).
The Warriors are 6-3 in their last 9 games and are a dominant 8-2 in their last 10 matchups against Detroit, including winning 4 of the last 5 meetings in Golden State.
Look for Golden State’s 3-point shooting to be the key for the Warriors to overcome this elite defense to pick up the win.
This is a very slight lean as the Pistons are the more talented and complete team.
PASS.
I lean toward the Pistons to cover here as +2.5 (-110) underdogs, but with them sitting at just 3-5-2 ATS in their last 10 against Golden State and just 4-6 ATS in their last 10 overall, they are not worth the risk of betting on with the spread set this tightly. Pass and bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).
The Under has hit in 8 of Detroit’s last 10 games and is 27-19 for the Pistons this season. For Golden State, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Under has also hit in 6 of the last 10 matchups between these squads, including cashing in each of the last 3 meetings.
Detroit has the bodies to ensure that there is always a great defender on Curry, and with Detroit’s offense being mediocre, the Under is the safer bet here.
