Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Just take a look at Luguentz Dort's recent performances. The OKC Thunder guard has been on fire, draining an average of 2.2 triples per game overall in his last five outings. Even when you focus on his away form, Dort's shooting arm doesn't cool down much. He's been nailing an average of 1.8 threes away from home. Now, let's bring the Pistons into the picture. Against Detroit, Dort's three-point precision dips slightly, but still averages a solid 1.6 over the last five match-ups. Sure, this drops to 1.3 threes when he's visiting the Pistons, but it's still within striking distance of our target. Considering his recent hot streak, Dort making more than 1.5 threes in this game seems like a pretty reasonable bet. The stats are saying he's got a 62.5% chance. I like those odds.

Detroit Pistons vs Oklahoma City Thunder : Detroit Pistons -7 (-114)

Betting on the Detroit Pistons to cover a -7 point spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder might seem a bit counterintuitive at first glance. The Pistons have struggled at home recently with an 0-5 record in their last five games. However, the Thunder has been equally inconsistent on the road, only securing two victories out of their last five travels. The Pistons' offensive production at home has been just a shade under the Thunder's away scoring average, indicating that they have the potential to keep pace. Perhaps the most telling stats are the teams' respective defensive performances. The Pistons have been allowing just 3 points more at home than the Thunder has on the road, which could be the slight defensive edge needed for the Pistons to cover the -7 point spread and deliver on this bet.

Thursday's Pistons-Thunder showdown is shaping up to be a platform for Detroit's Ausar Thompson to shine. The home court has usually been kind to Thompson, with his recent performances showing a combined point and rebound average nearing 16.4. While his numbers slightly dip against the Thunder, particularly at home, his rebounding prowess remains intact, and he's hit this prop bet in two of his last three outings. And let's not forget, he's averaged 16.8 combined points and rebounds in his last five games, a touch above our target. Thompson is poised to ride this wave and surpass the 14.5 mark. With the Thunder's defense being far from intimidating, our bet is on Thompson to bring his A-game and push past this threshold. It's time to back Thompson's over on his point and rebound total and ride the wave of his recent success.
