Here’s how we are betting for Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Best Bet for Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors

Best Bet: Detroit Pistons -6.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors is Pistons -6.5 (-110) against the spread.

The Pistons have dominated the league all throughout the season, and have won five games in the last ten fixtures. At home, they maintain a 25-8 tally, and are coming off two straight victories. The Pistons maintain the eighth best offensive rating in the league, while their defense has put them in the second spot. On the other hand, the Warriors have been able to win only two of their last ten games, and are struggling ever since the beginning of the season.

The spread at Pistons -6.5 fits the hosts well considering their elite offense and defense as well as the Warriors’ recent struggles.

Keeping their elite on-court stats in mind, we are comfortably laying the Detroit Pistons -6.5 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the hosts to cover the number tonight.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Detroit Pistons -10.5 (alternate spread)
Jalen Duren Over 23.5 Points
Tobias Harris Over 13.5 points

Combined odds: +641

We have built this same-game parlay around the Detroit Pistons to record a dominating win over the Warriors at home. Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris are likely to take offensive charge for the side during the absence of their key scorer, Cade Cunningham.

These legs are correlated considering if the Pistons take control of the game right from the beginning, their players will get ample scoring opportunities and end up with more volume. Thus, it is our safer SGP option.

Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors Top Player Prop Odds

Considering how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we are also eyeing these player props for Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Kristaps Porzingis Over 16.5 points (-118)
De’Anthony Melton Over 14.5 points (-118)
Jalen Duren Over 11.5 rebounds (-132)

These legs fit well into usage and volume. Since the Warriors are currently facing key absences, players such as Kristaps Porzingis and De’Anthony Melton are likely to take the charge for their team and put up some score against a stronger Detroit squad. Apart from them, Duren has been leading the rebounding for his side, and we expect him to put in a similar performance for the home team on Friday.
