The Detroit Pistons have had issues offensively through 2 preseason games, and it’s hard to lay chalk with them in their current form. The Oklahoma City Thunder have beaten up on two non NBA teams in their recent effort, but their confidence offensively should be high after getting whatever they wanted in those games. The Pistons laying this many points based on their first two efforts is somewhat surprising. Give me OKC and the free buckets.
