The East conference schedule is hectic. Wednesday evening presents a thrilling division matchup between the Central and Southeast as it features a game between the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic. The latter have a decent record of 2-2 and have shown glimpses of athleticism as they won a tough game against Boston a few days ago. The triumphant display showed that this team is capable of scoring more than 119 points.
However, that high ceiling comes with a worryingly low floor as evidenced by their lopsided loss to Cleveland just 48 hours later. It's the kind of frustrating inconsistency that makes bettors pull their hair out, a team that seems to alternate between contender energy and lottery hangover.
The story is much more worrying for Orlando. The team is limping into a game in Detroit with a record of 1-3 and really needs to win. They had a great start to the season when they beat the Miami Heat in a thrilling 125-121 game. Since then, there hasn't been a win.
The defense, which had ended last season as a league leader in scoring, has watched its average points surrendered explode in the first week. Coach Jamahl Mosley has to be demanding a return to form, and quickly. Detroit is currently slight favorites, but with the Magic desperate to avoid a four-game skid, we might see a true cage fight on the boards.

Our Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The biggest story hanging over the Pistons is the absence of dynamic guard Jaden Ivey. The young guard underwent a procedure on his right knee just a couple of weeks back and is slated for re-evaluation weeks from now.
This unit is missing a big part of its athleticism and scoring because Ivey isn't there. Caris LeVert, a scoring guard with experience, is hurt and may not be able to play. The Pistons will probably depend on Cade Cunningham instead of him.
For Orlando, its power couple is its engine. This team really does live and die by Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. In that first game of the season, Banchero and Wagner each scored 24 points. Banchero and Wagner are ready to play at full strength for this game. Their presence on the wings is a big problem for this weakened Tigers team. Banchero needs to make the most of this size difference. He needs to drive to the hoop and get their big guys in foul trouble right away.
The Magic are in a tough spot, and even worse, they have a huge personnel advantage because Ivey is out and LeVert is questionable. The road team has the edge. Orlando ends their losing streak by beating the Pistons. Our prediction for Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic: Over 226.5 points. Our prediction for Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic: Over 226.5 points.
