Why the Pistons can cover
The Pistons may miss star guard Cade Cunningham (doubtful, calf) for a fifth straight game and have already fallen to red-hot OKC once this season. However, this playoff contender has covered the spread in two of the its last three games, including a gutsy 133-122 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers as the 6.5-point underdog.
Detroit is 10th in the league in defensive rating and is a top team in minimizing opposing rebounds. With Chet Holmgren not playing at 100%, the Pistons have a better chance at lessening the damage OKC’s offense can do. Additionally, Detroit is 23-13-2 against the spread (ATS) on the road, which is the fourth-best cover rate in the league. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why the Thunder can cover
OKC has covered the spread in each of the 10 games in its current winning streak. It is 34-5 outright and 25-11-2 ATS at Paycom Center, last dropping a home game on the tail end of a back-to-back with the Denver Nuggets on March 10.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company have also covered the last three times they have been double-digit favorites, including a 15-point spread in a 145-117 victory against the Chicago Bulls their last time out. OKC is hot enough right now that it could sweep the season series against Detroit and cover in the process, especially with Detroit potentially without its best player in Cunningham.
