Series History
So far this season, the Thunder is 1-0 against the Pistons (0-0 at home, 1-0 on the road).
Why the Thunder Will Cover (-13.5)
When these two teams met just a couple of weeks ago, the Thunder pulled out a 6-point win in Detroit. Since then, the Pistons have gone 5-2, but they are probably without Cade Cunningham tonight, and OKC has been just too good during this home stretch. I’m taking the Thunder to cover.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (231.5)
Because I think OKC covers the spread, I’m also taking the over on the point total. Detroit isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut, but they’ve got options, even without Cunningham, so I can see this one hitting late.
