Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Orlando Magic continue to pile up the wins despite being without Paolo Banchero, and they’re now facing the Pistons without Cade Cunningham. The Magic have been favorites of 7 or more points 3 times this season, and have won those games by an average of 22.3 points. The Magic have covered 7 of their last 8 games overall. Hard to step in front of that, especially when the Pistons won’t have their best player. Give me the Magic.
