Both of these teams are young and rebuilding, but simply put, OKC has the better team. On most nights, the Thunder wins this game, regardless of location, and I think they’ll go ahead and hand the Pistons yet another loss.

Tonight the Thunder wraps up a short road trip in Michigan as they take on the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons have struggled through their first 10 games of the season, winning just 2. Second-year guard Cade Cunningham has been spectacular so far averaging 21.4 points, 6.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds. Rookie Jaden Ivey has played fairly well, also, averaging 15.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. OKC is going to have their hands full keeping up with these two young guards, but with the way Luguentz Dort and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have been playing defense so far, I think the Thunder is up to the task.

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s season is nearly over, and the countdown continues as the Thunder hosts the Detroit Pistons in what could be a tank matchup to remember. The Thunder is currently fourth in the draft standings, with Orlando and Houston tied for the top spot and the Pistons just 1.5 games ahead of OKC. After Detroit’s win last night against the Philadelphia 76ers, the race to last place just got a little bit more interesting.

This is two teams in bad slumps playing each other tonight. They both come into this game riding 8-game losing streaks and are both 1-9 over the last ten games. Something has got to give tonight and unfortunately for the Thunder they’re the road team and that’s a disadvantage. OKC has lost two in a row against the spread on the road and with a spread this tight we’re back to position of practically picking a winner. I’m not sure that I’m willing to do that. The Thunder haven’t been within three points of a road opponent since they beat the Lakers 107-104 on November 4th. To me, that makes Detroit -3 the best pick for this game tonight.

Now, as the Thunder begins their 14th season, I am finally a season-ticket holder. The Thunder hasn’t had fans in the building since March of 2019, and I for one could not be more excited. Yes, it’s almost guaranteed to be another tank season, and I’m more likely to be in the building for a loss than a win, but I’m still pumped. The NBA announced the full schedule for the 2021-22 season Friday afternoon, so without further ado, here are the 10 games that I’m looking forward to attending the most (in chronological order):

Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Detroit Pistons on the road. The Pistons are 16-39, dead last in the Eastern Conference standings, but they handled the Thunder just fine in OKC 2 weeks ago. Tonight’s matchup will look a little differently, though, as the Pistons are missing a handful of players to injury, so maybe the Thunder can pull out a miracle and get a win.

The Oklahoma City Thunder picked up a win in Detroit against the Pistons on Monday behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 31 points, but tonight, the Thunder will be without their star point guard as they host the Memphis Grizzlies at Chesapeake Energy Arena. SGA is dealing with plantar fascitis in his right foot, so he should be considered game-to-game at this point.

Tonight, the Thunder kicks off a 3-game road trip as they take on the Detroit Pistons (20-42). The Pistons have had a tough season, in large part due to injuries, and they have won just 1 game since these teams last met, a 108-101 victory for the Thunder.

Tonight, the Thunder hosts the Detroit Pistons (19-34), who just traded away Andre Drummond in the midst of the madness yesterday. The Pistons are an extremely injured team, and they will likely rely on the new arrivals of John Henson and Brandon Knight to fill out the bench.
