The Golden State Warriors are proving they can still get the job done without all of their superstars on the floor, but they’re a much more efficient team when all of their big guns are healthy. After sitting out one game due to illness, shooting guard Klay Thompson is expected to return to action vs the Detroit Pistons in Oakland tonight. Oddsmakers initially set the Dubs as 13-point favorites with an OVER/UNDER of 216.
- The Pistons are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games against the Warriors.
- The total has gone UNDER in 13 of the Warriors' last 18 games as favorite.
- The Pistons are 2-9 SU and ATS in their last 11 games with one day off between games.
Detroit hasn’t been able to find a consistent groove on offense, and it’s a major reason why the Pistons are still sitting below the .500 mark at 18-22 SU. They rank 24th in the league in points per game (100.1) and 26th in 3-point percentage (34.4 percent).
There were concerns that Golden State might have a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen after adding Kevin Durant in the offseason, but the Warriors have done an excellent job of moving the ball around in Steve Kerr’s offense. Stephen Curry and company lead the league with an average of 31 assists per game while setting the pace with 117.3 points per game.
Covering the spread has been a tall order for the Warriors of late. In their last six games, they're a brutal 0-6 ATS.
