The Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons meet Saturday in NBA action at the Little Caesars Arena. The Orlando Magic need a win to snap a three-game losing streak. The Detroit Pistons need a win to rebound from a rough 0-4 record.

The Orlando Magic are averaging 100.8 points on 42.3 percent shooting and allowing 115 points on 46.9 percent shooting. Cole Anthony is averaging 17 points and 7.4 rebounds, while Mo Bamba is averaging 13.6 points and 8.4 rebounds. Franz Wagner is the third double-digit scorer and Terrence Ross is grabbing 1.2 rebounds. The Orlando Magic are shooting 32.7 percent from beyond the arc and 76 percent from the free throw line. The Orlando Magic are allowing 37 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.8 rebounds per game.

The Detroit Pistons are averaging 94 points on 40.8 percent shooting and allowing 105.8 points on 46.4 percent shooting. Saddiq Bey is averaging 18.3 points and 9.5 rebounds, while Jerami Grant is averaging 15.7 points and two assists.

The Magic are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall. The Pistons are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The over is 22-8 in Magic last 30 overall. The under is 6-1 in Pistons last 7 home games. The Magic are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Detroit.

I’m not running to the window to lay chalk with the Detroit Pistons, a young team that’s looked awful through four games, especially on the offensive side. However, you can say the same about the Magic, and they’re on the end of a back to back. There’s much better options out there on a stacked Saturday card, but it’s Pistons or pass for me.
