Our Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The teams have split their meetings this season, but the Pistons have rattled off two consecutive victories against powerhouses Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers. Plus, they've won eight of their last nine games.
Meanwhile, the Magic has been on and off recently, and they still don't have star forward Franz Wagner for this game. This could be an opportunity that the Pistons should take advantage of. Our prediction for the Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons match is: Pistons (-5.5) cover the spread.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
