Oklahoma City Thunder and Detroit Pistons head-to-head record
This game might be another hotly contested contest based on their previous five head-to-head encounters. The Thunder defeated the Pistons 113-107 on March 16, 2025, their most recent victory, and they have won two of the previous three matchups. Nevertheless, Detroit has also proven capable of winning, winning three of the previous five meetings, including a resounding 120-104 triumph on the 29th of January 2024. In these games, both sides have shown a propensity for scoring a lot of points, frequently exceeding 110. Oklahoma City might have the advantage because of their impressive home record and 10-game winning streak, particularly with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander spearheading their attack. But Malik Beasley's recent strong shooting from outside the arc and Detroit's ability to take advantage of quick breaks might keep them competitive. The Thunder's ability to maintain control over the paint and their three-point shooting efficiency could ultimately determine the outcome of this fast-paced, high-scoring game.
