Golden State Warriors vs Detroit Pistons Prediction and Betting Tips | Jan. 9, 2025
We have eight games scheduled for Thursday night, so it will be a hectic night.
Paolo Banchero’s possible comeback from an oblique injury that has kept him out since October 30 is one thing to watch. Officially classified as questionable, Banchero is anticipated to make a comeback either on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks or tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ja Morant, who is labeled as questionable to return on Thursday against the Houston Rockets after missing the previous five games due to a shoulder injury, is another potential return to keep an eye on. If Morant makes a comeback, this matchup between two of the greatest teams in the West may be intense. The Rockets and Grizzlies are presently ranked second and third in the Western Conference, respectively.
Pippen’s upside will be affected by whether or not Morant returns, but he is still a viable streamer either way. In his past three starts, Pippen has averaged 15 PPG, 3 3PM and 3 SPG in about 27 MPG. Even in his three most recent games off the bench with Morant playing, Pippen turned in a still solid 14 points, 2-plus treys and 1-plus steals in 21 MPG.
Toumani Camara, Portland Trail Blazers (85.2% available)
Camara has now scored in double figures in five straight games while posting solid numbers across the board. In that stretch he has a double-double with points and rebounds, two games with three steals and three games with two 3-pointers. He has also shot 55.1% from the field and 84.6% from the free-throw line in that stretch.
ESPN BET’s picks for Thursday’s odds are Moody’s favorites.
More than 24.5 points (-130) for Anthony Edwards
Following three games in which he averaged just 16.3 points per game on 35.4 FG%, Edwards told reporters last week that he detested being double-teamed and having to pass the ball in order to score. He has scored at least 32 points in each of the three games since those remarks, averaging 40.7 points per game. The Orlando Magic defense, which ranks 14th in terms of points allowed to shooting guards, is good overall, but it performs mediocrely against them.

Detroit Pistons vs. Golden State Warriors ML (-130)
The Pistons, who have won eight of their last nine games, including five straight, are undoubtedly one of the NBA’s hottest teams right now. The Pistons’ other players are taking after Cade Cunningham, who is playing at an All-NBA level, to construct a strong team with genuine playoff hopes. Having only won five of their last 21 games and battling several ailments, the Warriors, on the other hand, have been struggling for some time.
