The Detroit Pistons (10-32) open a four-game Western Conference road trip Tuesday when they battle the Golden State Warriors (31-12). Tip-off is 10 p.m. at Chase Center. Below, we look at the Pistons vs. Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.
The Pistons have won five of their last nine games despite having just 10 wins all season. They are coming off a 135-108 blowout home loss to the Phoenix Suns Sunday.
The Warriors are scuffling a little bit. They lost 119-99 to the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday and have dropped five of their last seven games. Golden State opens a seven-game homestand Tuesday.

Pistons at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 124, Pistons 102
Money line
PASS on the money line.
The value is only here if you think the Pistons will get the upset win given the huge payout. However, I don’t expect them to win outright despite the Warriors’ recent struggles. Golden State has lost just three home games all season.
Against the spread
The Pistons have five wins in their last nine games, but those are their only covers along that span. They have not covered the spread in a loss since Dec. 23.
The Warriors may have lost five of their last seven games but they have only failed to cover the spread in a win once in their last seven victories dating back to Dec. 20.
Take the WARRIORS -14.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Three of the last four games for the Warriors have hit the Over. The Pistons’ last game finished with a total of 243 points.
Detroit is averaging only 101.5 points per game in its last six contests, so the question is whether it can hold Golden State under approximately 115 points.
While the Warriors have scored fewer than 100 five times in their last seven games, I think they put some points on the board back on their home court and against one of the weaker defensive teams in the league.
Take OVER 215.5 (-110).
