The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to Little Caesars Arena to take on the Detroit Pistons in the NBA on Saturday night. The Pistons (37-30) are sixth in the Eastern Conference, while OKC (54-12) lead the West. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Detroit Pistons have been in decent shape of late but will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways after a disappointing 129-125 defeat to the Wizards on Thursday. 

Cade Cunningham’s 38 points and 10 assists were not enough to get the team over the line. Detroit shot 45% from the field and made 10 of 30 from long range. 

The Pistons are ranked 11th in the scoring charts, averaging 115.0     points per game, while they are 14th on the defensive end, allowing 113.2 PPG.

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been the best in the West this season and racked up their eighth win in nine, beating the Celtics 118-112 on the road in midweek.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again led the scoring for OKC with 34 points and seven assists, while Chet Homgren and Cason Wallace combined for 37 points.

The Thunder are the fourth-highest-scoring team in the league this season (119.1 PPG), and allow the second-fewest points (107.0).
