This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on on the Thunder.

Despite losing 137-134 as a ten-point favorite here at home to Charlotte just last night, I think the Thunder will dig deep and here and deliver in the second game of the back-to-back.

OKC is now a 1/2 game back of the Lakers for ninth spot in the West. It's a log-jam at the bottom of the West standings, so it's going to be a fight until the finish with about six different teams.

The Thunder though also play with the added incentive of "revenge" here after falling 112-103 at Detroit as two-point favorites at the start of the season. That's significant to note as OKC is 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss as a favorite vs. an opponent.

Detroit has lost six straight. It covered against the Bucks at home as an 11.5-point underdog in its most recent setback, but I say the Pistons just "go through the motions" here on the road vs. this revenge-minded and motivated home side.

The slide stops here for OKC. Look for the Thunder to go up early, and to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish.

Lay the points, the play is the THUNDER.

Good luck, NP
