The Pistons, boasting the best record in the Eastern Conference at 57-21, are viewed as slight 3-point favorites to defeat the Magic on Monday at the KIA Center. This generous handicap stems from the fact that, after the recent moves in the conference, Detroit has already secured not only a playoff berth but also the conference title.
J.B. Bickerstaff is well aware of the situation; his team has only four regular-season games remaining, and Cunningham, who is still recovering from a collapsed lung, is definitely out against Orlando. The coach may consider other options and avoid giving his starters more minutes than necessary.
After losing their first game in April, the Magic bounced back with a 138-127 victory against the Mavericks and a more recent 112-108 win against the Pelicans. Orlando is among the five teams that will at least qualify for the play-in tournament, but they want to secure home-court advantage or even avoid the play-in altogether if anyone manages to snatch the sixth seed from the 76ers.
Paolo Branchero recorded a double-double in his team's recent victory against New Orleans, with 23 points and 16 rebounds.

Our Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
If the Pistons slow down, it will benefit the Magic, who still have the opportunity to rise in the standings. What is certain is that neither Cunningham nor Tobias Harris will be on the court for Detroit.
Magic recently beat the Pelicans in one of those victories that taste doubly sweet, as they came back from a 15-point deficit; they were down by 10 at the end of the last quarter but ended up taking the win.
Our prediction for Magic vs Pistons is: Magic +2.5.
