Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons: Current situation
Oklahoma City has the 11th easiest remaining schedule over the last 7 games of the regular season. That puts them in a comfortable position to clinch the best overall record in the NBA, right now they have a 3 game lead over the Cavaliers. Together with the Boston Celtics they are currently the most in-form team in the NBA having won 10 games in a row and they are showing no signs of slowing down.
Detroit has made the most out of the current struggles of the Milwaukee Bucks, leaping over them in the standings to take over the 5th seed. Even the 4th seed isn’t out of the question, however the Pacers are 2 games ahead with just 7 games left to play. The Pistons have the 5th hardest remaining schedule, they will play Indy 2 more times this regular season which could ultimately decide the 4th seed.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
OKC just routed one of the more in-form teams in the NBA as they destroyed the Chicago Bulls 145-117 on Monday. The win improved their record to a staggering 28-1 SU in games against Eastern Conference opponents, that is bad news if you are a Pistons fan going into this game. Isaiah Joe led the scoring with 31 points, SGA had a rare game where he wasn’t the team’s leading scorer with just 27 in 27 minutes played.
Detroit Pistons Stats & Form
Detroit’s last game saw them lose to Minnesota 123-104 in a game that was overshadowed by a brawl that happened in the 2nd quarter. A total of 5 players were ejected a result and the Pistons could just never recover. Malik Beasley led the way with 27 points, including 6 threes made as Cade Cunningham did not suit up at all.

In 148 regular season meetings so far the OKC Thunder have won 77 games, while the Pistons are at 71 wins.

The two teams have split the last 10 meetings, with each side winning 5 games.

Betting tip and prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons (02.04.2025)
Cade Cunningham missed Sunday’s game at Minnesota due to a calf injury, his status could very much determine the outcome of this game as the Pistons will be severally handicapped on both ends without his presence. In 9 games without him Detroit does have a winning record of 5-4 SU, however most of those wins came against teams with losing records. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is at full strength apart from a couple of role players being game-time decisions which shouldn’t impact the outcome of this game. SGA played only 27 minutes in the win over Chicago so he should be relatively fresh for this one. The last 4 OKC wins were all by double digits, during this 10 game win streak they are beating teams by an average of 17.9 points which is the highest Net Rating in the NBA during this stretch. The Thunder have also posted the NBA’s best offensive and defensive rating in these last 10 games, their fans are going into this postseason with a lot of optimism. Even though Detroit is 5-2 SU over their last 7 games overall and has covered the spread in 8 of 11 meetings, we still feel like the Thunder are the team to beat here. We are backing OKC to come out on top here.
