Detroit Pistons vs OKC Thunder preview

The Detroit Pistons are coming off a 123-104 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking the beginning of their three-game road trip. Despite that loss, it was just their second in the past seven games.

The Pistons have been on fire as the season wraps up, positioning themselves for a potential postseason spot. Over its last seven games, Detroit has posted the second-best offensive rating in the league, trailing only the Thunder, who have had the best offensive, defensive and net ratings..

The Thunder, on a 10-game winning streak, sit at 63-12, with seven games remaining. A 70-win season is still within reach, but their upcoming schedule presents challenges, starting with the Pistons, followed by road games against the Houston Rockets and two home games against the LA Lakers.

However, reaching 70 wins might not be their main focus at this point, as they’ve already set a franchise record for wins and secured the top seed in the Western Conference..
