Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors were on a roll as they were riding a five-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Cavaliers in a 115-104 road loss last night. Stephen Curry led drained seven 3-pointers to lead the way with 28 points, Draymond Green tallied 18 points with eight assists while Klay Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga scored 15 points each. As a team, the Warriors shot just 36 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find offense outside of Curry and were always fighting an uphill battle after scoring just 15 points in a nightmare of a second quarter.

Detroit Pistons

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in rough shape as they are now hoping to put a halt to a four-game slide after getting routed by the Suns in a 120-106 loss last night. Cade Cunningham led the team with 26 points and six assists on 12 of 24 shooting, Marcus Sasser added 22 points on nine of 16 shooting while Ausar Thompson chipped in with 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists, four steals and four blocks. As a team, the Pistons shot 49 percent from the field and eight of 23 from the 3-point line, but they started to fall away in the second quarter and they just had no answer for the Suns' Kevin Durant who lit them up for 41 points.

Peter's Pick

The Warriors are coming into this one with the same lineup, while the Pistons are still missing Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks and Monte Morris. The Warriors were one of the hottest teams in hte league before they got stopped by the Cavaliers last night, so it's no surprise that they're road favorites in this spot. The Pistons have shown glimpses of their potential this season, but we haven't seen much of it in their last three games which have all been losses. Both teams are playing on zero days' rest, so I'll take the in-form Warriors to get back in the win column in this spot.
