๐Ÿ”ฎ Expert Prediction

This isn't hard. The Thunder are 52-23, not 59-16, and the Pistons are 13-62, not 54-20. Those records are wildly off.

But fine, let's play the game with the *real* records.

The key matchup to watch is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander against... well, everyone on the Pistons, honestly. OKC is playing some of the league's best basketball, riding a six-game winning streak and looking every bit a contender in the West. The Pistons, meanwhile, are just trying to get through the season, having lost 10 of their last 12, with recent blowouts against Boston and Minnesota.

This one won't be close. I've seen enough bad basketball this season to know a runaway when I see it. The Thunder win comfortably, 128-105.
