Warriors vs Pistons Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
DET Pistons -5.0(-110)

The Detroit Pistons are attempting to continue to hold on to the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference while their star, Cade Cunningham, is out with a collapsed lung. They survived their first test yesterday against the Washington Wizards, winning 117-95 behind 24 points from Jaren Duren. The Pistons will have a short amount of time to prepare for their second test tonight against the injury-riddled Golden State Warriors. Detroit got out to a fast start against Washington, winning the first quarter 35-14. It was clear the intention to win without Cunningham was to rely heavily on defense. The Pistons are a top defensive team in the league, ranking second in the league in defensive rating. They also rank in the bottom half of the league in pace and are in the top 3 in rebounding rate. Detroit will limit your possessions and won’t allow many second-chance opportunities, making it very difficult to beat if shots aren’t falling.

Golden State has struggled recently with key players — Stephen Curry included — out. The Warriors have lost 8 of their last 10 games. They have averaged 110.2 points per game, shot 43% from the field and 32% from 3 during that span. These numbers are a major drop off from their season average of 115 points per game, 46% shooting from the field and 36% from 3. Overall, the Warriors are 6-13 without Curry in their lineup and continue to fall further down the Western Conference standings. The Pistons’ defense should be able to continue to hold the Warriors’ offense at bay in this game.
