Pistons vs Thunder Prediction

You don’t get the Thunder as a big of an underdog often. Heck, you rarely see the Thunder as underdogs, period. However, the Thunder are banged up and on the end of a back-to-back. Not ideal when going up against one of the best teams in the league. The Pistons keep winning games and are 31-24-1 ATS on the season. Big game in terms of the top record in the NBA. I have to lay the chalk with the Pistons given the health and rest edge. Oddsmakers are telling you how undermanned OKC is with this number. Give me the Pistons.
