Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic will clash in Game 2 of this seven-game playoff series on Wednesday night at the Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons will look to avenge their Game 1 loss on Sunday and level the playing field in this series. The disappointing 27-35 defeat in the first round proved costly as they ended up losing 101-112. The fans will be expecting a strong defensive response from the Eastern Conference champions.
Orlando Magic, on the other side of the hardwood, will feel confident after suffocating the Pistons in Game 1. They looked ready for the challenge from the first minute before condemning the Pistons to their 11th straight postseason defeat. Paolo Banchero was excellent for the Magic, contributing a team-high of 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. They could pull off the greatest playoff upset in NBA history.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic Prediction
Despite stumbling in Game 1, bookmakers favor the Pistons by -400 odds. The home side will know that a quick start will be key to winning tonight. Historically, they’ve started slowly against the Magic, losing 12 of their last 14 first halves. The magic also won the first quarter in 10 of their last 11 matches. We, therefore, expect the Pistons to stay more organized in the first quarter to avoid chasing the Magic. They have the second-best defense in the conference and should have enough tools to limit the Magic’s attack. We could also see Cunningham stretch Orlando’s tight defense as he did in Game 1 with 39 points. The Pistons should win it.
Our prediction for Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic: We expect the total points to stay under 220.5.
