Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been in a real slump as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting routed by the Celtics in a 120-99 road defeat on Wednesday. Pat Spencer and Gary Payton II each scored 14 points, Draymond Green and Gui Santos scored 13 points apiece while Kristaps Porzingis chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Warriors shot just 40 percent from the field and 10 of 43 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Celtics from the tipoff and leaked 36 points in the first quarter to fall behind by double digits and things didn’t get much better in the second half where the deficit ballooned to 26 points at one stage. Brandin Podziemski had a rough game as he shot just one of eight from the field for his 10 points while De’Anthony Melton shot just two of nine from the field for his five points.
Detroit Pistons Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in great shape as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the lowly Wizards in a 117-95 road win last night. Jalen Duren led the team with 24 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Reed added 17 points on seven of 11 shooting while Caris LeVery and Kevin Huerter each scored 14 points. As a team, the Pistons shot 45 percent from the field and nine of 30 from the 3-point line as they swarmed the Wizards from the very start and dominated the first quarter by 35-14 to take control right away, but the Wizards started to fight back and wouldn’t leave until the fourth quarter where the Pistons held the Wizards to just 17 points to make it a blowout in the end.
Golden State v Detroit Free Prediction
The Warriors have ruled out Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Al Horford, Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler III again, while the Pistons have ruled out Isaiah Stewart and Cade Cunningham. The Warriors could really do with a win here just for their own confidence, but they’ve been hit so hard by injuries and don’t have the pieces to even keep their heads above water in the short term. In contrast, the Pistons are heating up again but they will have to start relying on other players to step up in the absence of Cunningham who suffered a collapsed lung. This should be a close one for the most part, but in the end I have the Pistons coming away with the win and cover at home.
