Magic vs. Pistons Gameday
Friday offers a full slate of Emirates NBA Cup action, including the Orlando Magic, who travel to Michigan to play the top-seeded Detroit Pistons.
Orlando has the rest advantage, last playing on Tuesday in a wild romp over the 76ers, while the Pistons collected their third loss of the season on Wednesday against the Celtics.
Both clubs are part of Group B in Emirates Cup action, with Orlando sitting on top with a 3-0 record while the Pistons are second with a 2-1 record. That puts extra pressure on this match because if Detroit wins, the differential will decide which team wins the group and which moves on to vie for the wild card spot.
Notably, Orlando enters this match with a differential of +63 while Detroit sits at +24, so the latter will need to win by 40 points to win the group.

Magic Pistons Free Pick: Pacers +9.5
Here is my Magic Pistons free pick.
I don’t deny the Pistons have been the cream of the East crop this season and have dealt with copious injuries. That said, the Magic have been on a roll, and in addition to performing better defensively in the last 10 matches, they also were better offensively (sitting 4th during that 10-game stretch versus the Pistons’ 7th rank).
This match could be a trap game for the Pistons who’ve been the most consistent in the East.
Detroit collected its third loss of the season, and while I still think they are legit, it’s the Magic who’ve impressed recently. Jalen Suggs makes a massive difference for Orlando, and while it might be a big swing, I’ll take them to upset the Pistons.
Side note: I also like the under.
