Golden State Warriors vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Warriors are rolling with wins and covers, but we’re starting to see these lines get inflated and that’s where I pause. The Pistons are a young, scrappy bunch that’s not scared, and they’re 35-27-1 ATS on the season. Tobias Harris is also expected to return, which the Pistons didn’t have him against the Clippers. When the Pistons and Warriors played in January, the game was decided by three points. I’d say the Pistons are even more confident than they were a couple of months ago. I’m not a fan of these lines getting more and more hefty. I’ll lean Pistons on Saturday.
