Pistons vs Magic Prediction

It’s hard to set in front of the Pistons, who have won 13 of their last 14 games and are 12-6 ATS on the season. I’m still doing it. The Magic have quietly won 7 of their last 10 games, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 9 games. The Magic just made light work of the 76ers, scoring 144 points on their head top. The Magic have also won 8 of the last 10 games against the Pistons. As well as the Pistons have played this season, the value is with the Magic and the points, a team that’s really come along over the last two weeks.
