Last 5 Form
Golden State Warriors
Golden State are just 2-3 in their last 5 and need another win. Last game, they easily beat the Jazz 140-124 on the road.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons are coming off 3 wins in their last 5. Last game on Saturday, they lost by 18 points against Phoenix (114-96) and that makes them eager to bounce back.

NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Warriors against the Pistons.
- 1st Leg – Pistons +4.5: The Pistons come to San Fran having won 4 of their last 5 road games and this should be a close contest against the Warriors. So I like them to cover the underdog line.
- 2nd Leg – Over 226.5: Golden State gave up 124 pts against the struggling Jazz and the Over has gone 6-2 in their last 8 games. Their defence isn’t as good with Jimmy Butler on the sidelines too. So the Pistons should have plenty of success shooting the basketball.
