Golden State Warriors vs Detroit Pistons predicted starting lineups

Warriors

The Warriors are expected to start their regular five of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. Chris Paul will lead the second unit once again with Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II and Dario Saric.

Green is coming off a great offensive output. He will possibly continue the trend, at least on Monday, as he'll be playing against his hometown team. Also, watch out for Curry to flourish.

Pistons

The Pistons starting five should remain intact from Sunday's game, with Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Ausar Thompson, Isaiah Steward and Jalen Duren. Marcus Sasser will lead the Pistons' bench mob along with Joe Harris and Marvin Bagley III.

Fans should watch out for Cunningham and Duren to have a great game against the Warriors. Their height should give Golden State some problems and possibly both have a double-double.
