Oklahoma City has played great defense all year, fourth in the NBA in points allowed. Now they have their big offensive guns back. The Thunder have won two of three since Russell Westbrook's return Nov. 28th, and three of four overall. They lost their first game with Kevin Durant back from a broken right foot, 112-104 in New Orleans on Tuesday, but took a 103-91 victory Friday against Philadelphia. They face a bad Pistons team off an OT loss in Boston, and the team is 6-18 ATS following a loss. Detroit is 28th in the league in scoring, and the Pistons are 16-35 ATS in their last 51 home games. Also, Oklahoma City is on a 21-7 run UNDER the total, plus 14-3 UNDER the total on one days rest. It won't take much to shut down this anemic Detroit offense. Play the Oklahoma City Thunder and Oklahoma City/Detroit UNDER the total.
