Both top seeds in the East and West are in action on this NBA Thursday slate. In the morning, the Pistons head to Boston and look to end a 7 game losing skid at the TD Garden. Then, the Thunder will be going for 10 wins on the trot when they face the struggling Timberwolves. Here are my NBA betting tips!
Detroit Pistons (15-2) at Boston Celtics (9-8)
Thursday 27/11/2025 at 9:00am AEDT. Venue: TD Garden (Boston)
The Celtics are back above .500 but can they compete with the #1 seed in the East? We’ll see when they host the 15-2 Pistons on Thursday morning at the Garden.

Last 5 Form
Boston Celtics
The Celtics are coming off a good run with 4 wins in their last 5. They smashed the Magic 138-129 last game and hold a 13-6 record in their last 19 home games. Of course, Tatum is out injured so Brown will be the key against Detroit.
Detroit Pistons
With a 15-2 record, the Pistons are finally showing their potential. They haven’t lost a game since last month and that includes 13 straight wins.

Best Bet
With two of the best defensive teams in the East going head to head, it makes sense to look at the Under. Boston are giving up just 110 ppg and the Pistons are just behind them at 112.6. The Under also has a nice 5-2 record in Boston’s last 7 games.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Celtics against the Pistons.
- 1st Leg – Jaylen Brown 25+ Points: Brown comes off scoring 35 pts against the Magic and has been in great form lately. He’s scored 25+ pts in 4 straight games and I can see that happening again when he faces the Pistons.
- 2nd Leg – Cade Cunningham 8+ Assists: Cunningham has 10 or more assists in 7 of his last 8 games.
- 3rd Leg – Derrick White 5+ Rebounds: White has been a sneaky rebound threat. He had 7 boards last game and has 5+ rebounds in 4 of his last 5 games.
Minnesota Timberwolves (10-7) at Oklahoma City Thunder (17-1)
Thursday 27/11/2025 at 11:30am AEDT. Venue: Paycom Center (Oklahoma City)
The Thunder are seeking a 10th straight win when they host the Timberwolves this Thursday. Here are my SGM predictions and betting tips.

Last 5 Form
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder are simply on another level right now. They’ve beaten the Trail Blazers by 27 and the Jazz by 32 in their last 2 games. Their closest margin in this 9 game winning streak is 13 pts. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 37 pts last game and will be looking to make it 4 straight games with 30+ pts.
Minnesota Timberwolves
They’re just 2-3 in their last 5 and have lost back to back games. Not the best form to take on the best team in the NBA.

NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Thunder against the Timberwolves.
- 1st Leg – Thunder -8.5: At home, the Thunder are 11-0 and the Timberwolves form at the moment says they won’t be able to get near them either. They’ve failed to cover in 4 of their last 5 games and have lost 4 of 5 against OKC. The Thunder are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games and have covered the line in 4 of the last 5 meetings with Minnesota.
- 2nd Leg – Under 224.5: The betting trends are saying Under in this matchup. The Under has a 5-2 record when these two sides meet and also 6-3 in the Thunder’s last 9 games.
