Tonight, OKC takes on Detroit in the second game of a back-to-back against the freshly rested Pistons. Both teams are tied in the loss column for the fewest defeats in the NBA, but OKC holds 3 more wins over Detroit. Also, the Pistons enter this game completely healthy, whereas the Thunder is missing four starters on top of other key players.
The Pistons are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, and it probably helps that they’re healthy. The Thunder being an underdog for a third-straight game was not on my bingo card at any point this season, and while I’m not sure OKC can pull off a win in Detroit, I do think they end up covering the spread. This depleted version of the Thunder has played hard lately, and I don’t think they’re going to let up tonight, even if it is the second game of a back-to-back.
