Tonight’s Pistons vs. Warriors predictions come down to how this game is likely to be played, not who looks better on paper. Detroit slows teams down, takes away easy second chances, and forces Golden State to win without leaning on its usual strengths.
That kind of game doesn’t just change the side, it creates value in one Warriors prop that’s tied directly to rebounding and role.

Pistons vs Warriors prediction
Pistons vs Warriors best bet: Draymond Green Under 5.5 rebounds (-130)
Since Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear, Draymond Green has fallen short of this modest rebounding prop in three of four games, averaging just 4.25 rebounds per game.
The Golden State Warriors so needed Butler, in part, because Green’s game is aging faster than many realize. He is no longer equipped for this role.
Quite frankly, the time is probably coming when Green’s agitation with himself will start showing as he acts out against opponents. That could well come tonight, given the Detroit Pistons’ physical playing style.

But even if Green plays the whole game, that may be as few as 24 minutes. He has played more than 24 minutes in any of his last four games, bothered by foul trouble in only one of them.
He does not have the fitness to play a long game. And he no longer has the athleticism to impact the game.
Pistons vs Warriors same-game parlay
Green has scored 12 points total in the four games without Butler, shooting just 5-of-25 from the field.
He is falling apart in every aspect. With Green posing such a liability, the Pistons should have an edge in a close game.
