Saturday night in the NBA sees the Orlando Magic hosting the Detroit Pistons at the Kia Center. Orlando comes into this match sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 10-7 record while Detroit sits seventh at 7-10. Let’s get into the prediction!
The Magic have performed admirably since losing star player Paolo Banchero at the end of October. After losing the first four games since the former Duke player went down, the Magic have responded by winning seven of their next eight.
Most recently, the hosts picked up a sensational 119-118 away win over the Lakers which saw Franz Wagner hit a step-back three with 2.5 seconds left to win the game. Orlando is powered primarily by their elite defense, which ranks first in the NBA in terms of opponent points allowed (103.2).
Despite being three games under .500, the Pistons are exceeding expectations. There is plenty of potential in this young team and fans will be excited to see that they’re finally starting to put it together.
Detroit too depends on their solid defense which ranks 12th in opponent points allowed (111.6). They’ll come into this contest looking to snap out of a two-game losing streak following a 123-121 overtime defeat to the Hornets on Thursday.

Our Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
This should be an interesting matchup between two very good defenses. The Magic have been absolutely stifling teams this season while the Pistons are much improved, especially on that side of the ball.
Furthermore, these two offenses play at a very deliberate pace, which is why the total for this game is set so low. We still believe there's value to be had in backing the under as this one should be a defensive slugfest. Our Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons prediction: under 206.5 points.
