The OKC Thunder continue to prove their dominance this season with a remarkable 10-game winning streak, recently routing the Chicago Bulls 145-117. Hosting the Detroit Pistons, who have shown some resilience but are hindered by injuries and suspensions, the Thunder aim for another victory as they average an impressive 125.2 points over the last ten games. Cade Cunningham's potential absence due to injury could significantly impact Detroit's chances as they look to secure a playoff spot for the first time since 2019.

In this matchup, the Thunder are favorites, boasting a 13.5-point spread, while the over/under is set at 231.5 points. With multiple Pistons players sidelined, including Ronald Holland II and Jaden Ivey due to league actions, the Thunder's high-scoring offense should capitalize on Detroit's depleted roster. The projected starting lineups reveal a stark contrast, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the Thunder's scoring charge against a struggling Pistons unit.
