After losing five games away from home, the Detroit Pistons finally picked up their first road win in a 106-95 triumph over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Stan Van Gundy’s club is back in the friendly confines of the Palace at Auburn Hills for Monday’s date with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
- The Thunder are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games on the road after consecutive home games.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of the Thunder's last nine games on the road.
- The Pistons are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games after a win.
Sportsbooks opened the Pistons as 3-point home faves with an OVER/UNDER of 200.
The Thunder started the season on a 6-1 SU run but have since dropped contests to Toronto, Orlando and the Los Angeles Clippers. OKC’s stellar defense has disappeared, as Russell Westbrook and company have allowed an average of 113.7 points during that span.
Detroit’s offense has been dormant so far, but the good news is the defense has stepped up to the plate. The Pistons rank 24th in scoring (97.7 points per game) but are fourth in points allowed (97). As a result, the UNDER has been a profitable play. Detroit is 3-7 OVER/UNDER on the year.
OKC has had a major edge in this series of late. The Thunder are 12-2 SU in their last 14 vs the Pistons.
