Detroit Pistons @ Oklahoma City Thunder Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter this game as the top team in the Western Conference with a stellar 63-12 record and a 10-game winning streak. Led by MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging 32.8 points per game, the Thunder have been dominant on both ends of the floor. Their defense ranks as the best in the league, and their offense is firing on all cylinders, averaging 120.4 points per game.

The Detroit Pistons, on the other hand, have been one of the surprise teams of the season. With a 42-33 record, they are in contention for a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference. Cade Cunningham has emerged as a superstar, averaging 25.7 points and 9.2 assists per game. However, the Pistons are dealing with significant injuries, including Cunningham being listed as doubtful for this matchup. Jaden Ivey is also out, which could hinder their ability to keep up with the high-powered Thunder offense.

Pick: Thunder -13 (-112, DraftKings)

The Thunder are in exceptional form, boasting a 10-game winning streak and a dominant 34-5 home record. With the Pistons missing key players like Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, Oklahoma City should have no trouble covering the -13 spread. Their league-best defense and efficient offense make them a strong pick to dominate this game.

Top Player Prop Picks

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 Points (-110)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear this season, averaging 32.8 points per game. With the Pistons missing key defensive players, SGA is poised for another big night. He scored 27 points in their last meeting and should easily surpass this line.

Malik Beasley Over 15.5 Points (-110)

Malik Beasley has been a consistent scorer for the Pistons, especially on the road. He has hit the over on this line in three straight road games, and with Detroit shorthanded, he will likely take on an increased scoring load.

Isaiah Joe Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made (-110)

Isaiah Joe has been a sharpshooter for the Thunder, averaging 3.8 made three-pointers per game. Against a Pistons defense that struggles to defend the perimeter, Joe should have plenty of opportunities to hit from deep.
