Pistons Preview

During Friday’s road victory, Detroit outrebounded Orlando by a 52-38 margin and held them to 35 percent shooting.

Magic vs Pistons Pick

Orlando F Franz Wagner (right calf strain) missed Friday’s loss and is not expected to play in this game. This series has been played at a snail’s pace and both teams are struggling to score. The under is always worth a look in a winner-take-all scenario, but the more valuable play is on the Magic to pull off the upset. Final Score Prediction, Orlando Magic win 101-98.
