We just saw the Detroit Pistons in prime time on Monday night in what was a potential NBA Finals preview against the San Antonio Spurs. Well, they’re in an identical spot tonight, tipping off the ESPN doubleheader against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With such a premier matchup on deck, we’re here with our best Thunder vs. Pistons predictions for tonight.

With fans in OKC and plenty more locations still lacking legal sports betting, we’ve also added to our Thunder vs. Pistons picks with a guaranteed Onyx Odds promo code bonus - a social sportsbook legal in over 40 states!

🔥 Thunder vs. Pistons Predictions for NBA on ESPN, 2/25

Detroit fell to Victor Wembanyama in that aforementioned showdown with the Spurs, but at least that means that they were able to rest yesterday. Meanwhile, OKC was on the court (also on the road) taking on the Toronto Raptors. Despite being down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and more, they had quite a smooth victory.

The absence of SGA is only one of the big factors for any Thunder vs. Pistons predictions, as they are also without Jalen Williams AND Ajay Mitchell. Those are all impact players, so it’s no surprise that the Thunder vs. Pistons odds are favoring Detroit. A bounce-back spot for them will certainly be a target for many NBA expert picks.

It’s difficult to argue, but we’re still excited for a matchup of last year’s best record in the NBA and the current one this year. Also, in case you missed it to start the week, Detroit did indeed get their guys back from recent suspension. These championship hopefuls have yet to meet this season, so this is the first time that we’re locking in a best bet from our Thunder vs. Pistons predictions for tonight.

🏅 Thunder vs. Pistons Best Bet: Detroit -3.5 First Half Spread (-120 at Onyx Odds)

We said that many picks are sure to back Detroit tonight, and we’re not straying too far from that approach with just a slightly more isolated approach. We expect Cade Cunningham and company to come out as fired up as ever after seemingly the entire nation saw them falter on Monday night.

That’s why we’re keeping things nice and simple with our Thunder vs. Pistons predictions rather than getting too deep in the weeds with player prop markets (which we often prefer). Not only should Detroit have a fire lit under them right now, but again, OKC was just on the court last night on the road.

While they got the win, Toronto is still a defense that can take a lot out of a team. Furthermore, although they both ended up playing, Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso were both questionable heading into the game, so they also aren’t 100% healthy - Holmgren scored just seven points in 30 minutes.

Along with the significant injuries to SGA and company that we’ve already noted, the best bet from our Thunder vs. Pistons predictions is Detroit -3.5 first half spread (-120 at Onyx Odds).
