Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons Player Prop Picks 3/15/25 NBA Picks

The Detroit Pistons (36-29) are set to host the Oklahoma City Thunder (53-12) on March 15, 2025, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.  The Thunder currently lead the Western Conference with an impressive .818 win percentage, while the Pistons hold the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference with a .561 win percentage. ​

This matchup will feature a compelling duel between the Pistons’ Cade Cunningham and the Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, both of whom have been instrumental in their teams’ performances this season. Cunningham’s prop bets for the game are set at 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. ​Given the Thunder’s dominant season and recent form, they enter the game as favorites. However, the Pistons’ strong home record and recent performances suggest they could provide a formidable challenge.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 Points

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been delivering an outstanding performance for the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2024–25 NBA season. He leads the league in scoring, averaging 32.8 points per game, and has been instrumental in propelling the Thunder to the top of the Western Conference with a remarkable 53–11 record. Recently, we saw SGA score 48 points in a 137–128 victory against the Houston Rockets, along with seven assists, five rebounds, one steal, and one block. ​SGA has scored 34+ points in 4 of his last 5 games, and I don’t see him slowing down in this one. Jokic has been playing at another level as of late, and if SGA wants to stay the favorite for the MVP race, he’s going to need to keep up this insane amount of production.

Chet Holmgren Over 8.5 Rebounds

Chet Holmgren has been a dominant presence on the boards for the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2024–25 NBA season. In a recent matchup against the Boston Celtics on March 12th, Holmgren recorded a double-double, contributing 23 points and 15 rebounds to secure a 118–112 victory.  This performance underscores his consistent ability to control the glass and impact games defensively.​ Since returning back from injury, Chet hasn’t been looked at as a main scorer on this OKC team, but he has been doing everything else at a high level. After his 15-rebound performance against the Celtics, I have no problem taking the over on his rebounds at this number of 8.5.

Cade Cunningham Over 27.5 Points

Cade Cunningham has been instrumental in the Detroit Pistons’ resurgence during the 2024–25 NBA season. He’s coming into this one averaging 25.9 points per game. Cunningham’s stellar performance earned him a well-deserved spot as a reserve in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. His consistent scoring and playmaking have been central to Detroit’s improved performance this season. Cunningham has scored 27+ points in his last 6 games. If you’ve been betting the over on Cunningham’s point, you’ve been cashing in.
