The Detroit Pistons (42-33) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (63-12) on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the Paycom Center.
After a 113-107 win in their first matchup, the Thunder will try to sweep their regular season series with the Pistons. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the frontrunner for the MVP award this year, poured 48 points on 65.4% shooting in that win.
That win over the Pistons is part of the Thunder's current 10-game winning streak. In that span, the Thunder further increased their offensive rating to 125.7, a five-point improvement from their season average of 120.4. Plus, they still own the best defensive rating in the league (107.0).
Meanwhile, the Pistons will be short-handed against the powerful Thunder squad. First, All-Star guard Cade Cunningham is still listed as doubtful due to a left calf contusion. He has already missed four straight games with this injury.
To make matters worse, the Pistons will miss the services of Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland II, and Marcus Sasser. All three names were involved in the skirmish versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, resulting in suspensions.
As for the Thunder, their key players are all available and healthy in this second go-around with the Pistons.
