Peaking at the right time, the Oklahoma City Thunder will try to annihilate an -11.5-point handicap when they play the Detroit Pistons, who are playing with their leader, Cade Cunningham.
Momentum: The Oklahoma City Thunder (59-16) bounced back from a 109-119 loss to Boston with two consecutive double-digit wins over Chicago, 131-113, and New York, 111-100. Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons (54-20) have also won their last two against New Orleans 129-108 and Minnesota 109-87 after bowing to Atlanta 129-130 in an overtime thriller on March 25.
The Matchup: Detroit defeated Oklahoma 124-116 in their first meeting between conference leaders this season on February 25. Cade Cunningham, who will be sidelined for at least two more weeks with collapsed lungs, pumped up 29 points and 13 assists in the win. The Thunder did not have Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in this game because of various injuries.
Hot on the Board: The Thunder are the clear-cut pick to win straight-up (-675) and cover -11.5 points (-115). The Pistons offer a -105 if they can cover with a +11.5-point head start, while the total has been set at a modest over/under 206.5 points.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Oklahoma City Thunder decimate the Detroit Pistons 120-104
Best Bet: Bet on the Thunder to smash the -11.5-point handicap against the Pistons. Thunder are healthy and peaking up just in time for the postseason. The championship core led by SGA is now playing and producing solid numbers, making this team even scarier for other contenders. On the other hand, the Pistons are playing without their main scorer and facilitator because of Cunningham’s injury. Key players, including Jalen Duren, have stepped up during his absence, but I am certain they will direly miss him when they play the best team in the regular season.
Our betting prediction for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. the Detroit Pistons: The Thunder -11.5 points
