Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons Picks & Predictions

Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Over 1.5 Threes Made (-192)

If there's one player you'd put your money on to strike from downtown, it's Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham. This young prodigy has been steadily improving his three-point game, and when the Pistons host the Oklahoma City Thunder this Thursday, I expect him to step up. He's been knocking down an average of 1.2 threes at home, and against the Thunder, he's been even more successful, nailing 1.7 on average. Sure, his overall average is a slightly underwhelming 0.8, but let's not forget we're betting on a rising star who's got the home court advantage. With a projected stat value of 2.11, the likelihood of Cunningham surpassing 1.5 threes is quite promising. The Thunder's defense should be wary, because Cade Cunningham is ready to light up the scoreboard from beyond the arc.

Ausar Thompson (Detroit Pistons) Over 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-127)

Detroit Pistons' own Ausar Thompson has been commanding the hardwood recently. This young dynamo's been bagging an average of 11.8 points and snagging five rebounds in the last five games. Even better, when playing at home, he's managed to keep his momentum almost unhindered, with an average of 11.6 points and 4.8 rebounds. These figures alone put him tantalizingly close to our target of over 14.5 in points and rebounds for the upcoming game against Oklahoma City Thunder. Now, while Thompson's home performance against the Thunder specifically presents a bit of a dip - 8.5 points and 4 rebounds on average - let's not forget that the Pistons' rising star has hit or exceeded our target in three of his last five home games. The stats don't lie - Thompson's got an excellent shot at delivering on the over 14.5 points + rebounds prop in the upcoming game.
