Free Orlando Magic vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
This is the first time all season Orlando has been labeled road favorites straight up, according to oddsmakers. A 1.5-point spread isn’t exactly convincing—but that’s notable for a team just 2.5 games outside Play-In range if the season ended today.
Detroit, on the other hand, currently owns the label of Worst Team Out East. And I’d expect that theme to shine through in this one.
Magic get the win on the road, and at just a 1.5-point spread, they feel like an easy cover.
Orlando both straight up and against the spread.
