There are eight games on the NBA schedule for Thursday, including the Golden State Warriors vs Detroit Pistons matchup. It's the first meeting of the season between the teams, with the Warriors sweeping last season's series. The Pistons have not beaten Golden State at home since Oct. 30, 2022.
Steph Curry and the Warriors are starting a four-game road trip on a two-game losing streak. It has been a rough month and a half for Golden State, leading to speculations that they might make another trade ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline.
Meanwhile, Cade Cunningham and the Pistons have vastly improved under coach J.B. Bickerstaff and enter Thursday's matchup as winners of five in a row. They are above .500, which was hard to fathom given how bad they were last season.
