The Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic meet Sunday in NBA action at the Amway Center.

The Detroit Pistons look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Detroit Pistons are averaging 108.2 points on 43.7 percent shooting and allowing 112.6 points on 48.3 percent shooting. Jerami Grant is averaging 23 points and 5.4 rebounds while Josh Jackson is averaging 13 points and two assists. Blake Griffin is the third double-digit scorer and Wayne Ellington is grabbing two rebounds. The Detroit Pistons are shooting 35.2 percent from beyond the arc and 78.2 percent from the free throw line. The Detroit Pistons are allowing 38 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42.4 rebounds per game.

The Orlando Magic look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Orlando Magic are averaging 105.6 points on 43.2 percent shooting and allowing 111.3 points on 47 percent shooting. Nikola Vucevic is averaging 24 points and 11.5 rebounds while Evan Fournier is averaging 17.8 points and 3.6 assists. Terrence Ross is the third double-digit scorer and Aaron Gordon is grabbing 7.2 rebounds. The Orlando Magic are shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc and 78.3 percent from the free throw line. The Orlando Magic are allowing 37.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 47.1 rebounds per game.

The Pistons are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Sunday games. The Magic are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Pistons last 5 overall. The under is 5-2 in Magic last 7 overall. The Pistons are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Orlando and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Neither of these teams have played great basketball, but the Magic have shown recent signs of improvement, which includes a win over the Warriors. The Detroit Pistons still don’t play a lick of defense and they lose on the road by an average of 8.3 points while 50 percent shooting from the field. The Magic have the edge here at home, so that’s the direction I’d lean if forced to pick this contest.
