Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Paul Tamayo | in NBA Picks
The Detroit Pistons (35-28) visit the Golden State Warriors (35-28) on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at Chase Center.
Sporting identical records and conference ranking (6th), the Pistons and Warriors battle for the second time this season. Golden State won the first game by only three points, overcoming a 32-point outing from Detroit All-Star Cade Cunningham.
Since then, the Pistons have become a surprisingly good team in the East. They now rank in the Top 15 in both offensive rating (114.2) and defensive rating (112.6). Plus, Cunningham's stat line of 25.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 9.4 assists screams fringe MVP candidate.
As for the Warriors, things have changed for the better since trading for Jimmy Butler III. Butler himself isn't producing big numbers, but he's been a connector on both ends of the floor. The Warriors have won 10 of their last 12 games, with an eye towards an outright playoff seat in the West.
Golden State just ranks a shade below Detroit in offensive rating (114.1). These are evenly balanced teams, although having Stephen Curry is always an advantage. Steph has been on a roll, having breached the 40-point mark in two of the last five games.
