Thunder 114, Pistons 96: Considering their injury report, the Pistons are about to return the favor from their last matchup. They’re punting this game. Makes sense with their first-place lead. Considering how close things are in their own first-seed race, the Thunder will gladly accept Detroit’s gift. Even if some key players sit out, this should be an easy win for OKC. They’ve been one of the best teams since the All-Star break. Expect that to continue. Especially if Gilgeous-Alexander suits up.

ODDS: Thunder by 13.5 points
