Listed at +320 on the moneyline, the Orlando Magic will march into Game 5 as an appetizing underdog pick to wrap up the series against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena.
Momentum: The Orlando Magic have taken a commanding 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven first-round playoff series with the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons. Behind their suffocating defense, the Magic defended their home court in Game 3 (113-105) and Game 4 (94-88), moving one win away from pulling off a massive upset against the only 60-win team in the East.
The Matchup: Orlando has won four of its last five meetings with Detroit. They have also gone 4-1 against the Pistons in their last five faceoffs.
Hot on the Board: The Magic opened as +320 underdogs and -110 with a +10.5-point advantage on the spread line despite their dominance over the Pistons in this series. The Pistons are -420 favorites at home, though 31 percent of the early bets have been placed on the Magic to wrap up the series.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The majority of the bettors are taking their chances with the Magic, and they are backing them to win the series on the Pistons’ home court in Game 5.
The Magic’s defense has effectively shut down the Pistons’ offense. The Pistons have never hit their regular-season average of 117.8 points in any game of this series. In Game 5, Orlando raised their defensive intensity to another tier by holding the Pistons to just 88 points on 38FG%.
Cade Cunningham has been the only bright spot for the Pistons while the rest of the supporting cast has failed to provide game-changing contributions in this series. Jalen Duren, who was selected for his first All-Star this year, averages 9.8 points and 8.3 rebounds in these playoffs. He has been outplayed by Magic center Wendell Carter Jr, who has put up 11.5 points and 10.0 rebounds per contest in the series.
The Magic are going for broke in Game 5. There’s just too much upside and minimal risk to go all out on Orlando right now. A $100 bet on the Magic could yield a payout of $420 with a win on Thursday. On the other hand, betting on the Pistons to extend the series means you would be risking $420 to win only $100, which doesn’t make sense betting-wise.
Our betting prediction for the Orlando Magic vs. the Detroit Pistons: The Magic win
