The Detroit Pistons look to book their spot in the next round by taking down the Magic for the third straight game. The Magic, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, remains a solid pick to cover the spread with a +8.5-point boost.
Momentum: The momentum of this series has dramatically shifted in favor of the Detroit Pistons after the top-seeded team in the East has taken the last two games of this series. Detroit outplayed Orlando, 116-109, in Game 5 before blowing past the Magic, 93-79 in Game 6. All of a sudden, what was looking like an upset is turning into a repeat of the infamous postseason chokejobs in 2003, when the Tracy McGrady-led Magic blew a 1-3 lead on the No.1 seed Pistons.
The Matchup: The Pistons have tightened up their defense in the last two games, especially in Game 6, where they held Detroit to 35 FG%.
Cade Cunningham has been an all-around monster in this series, averaging 32.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists. However, he took it to another level in Game 6 at Orlando, when he dropped 45 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Franz Wagner, who averages 16.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in these playoffs, will miss Game 7 of this series due to a calf injury, the team announced. His absence in Game 6 and now in the deciding Game 7 could be the tipping point of this series.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic Prediction
With the momentum firmly on their side, the Pistons are primed to produce one of the greatest comebacks in postseason history. The bookies have installed the Pistons as the clear-cut favorites at -345 at home, where they are 6-1 in their last 7 games.
As for the spread, the Pistons obliterated the spread in Game 6, but they should brace for a fightback from the Magic, who are 5-2 in their last 7 games against the spread.
Detroit will complete the comeback with Cade Cunningham leading the charge once again. However, the Pistons aren’t going to put away the resilient Magic in this elimination game so easily because Orlando still has the weapons to make the top seed sweat bullets in Detroit.
Our betting prediction for the Detroit Pistons vs. the Orlando Magic: The Magic +8.5 points.
