Pistons at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Magic 106, Pistons 99
Money line (ML)
The MAGIC (-160) are a good play at a moderate price if you don’t want to bother with the spread. Orlando is on a three-game winning streak, and they have won four of the past five games overall, including last time out Sunday against the Pistons in O-Town, 105-96.

Against the spread (ATS)
The MAGIC -3.5 (-110) should be able to put away the Pistons +3.5 (-110) by at least two buckets. They won by nine points in Sunday’s contest, and they have also covered each of the past three and five of the previous six. Meanwhile, Detroit has failed to cover each of the past three outings after a 4-1 ATS run.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 207.5 (-110) is the way to be in this second end of the back-to-back. The Under connected in Sunday’s game with a total of just 201 points, and the Under is 3-0 in Detroit’s past three and five of the past six. The Under is also 3-1 in Orlando’s past four, and 6-2 across the past eight for the Magic.
