Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic Basteball Odds

Teams Preview

Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are in a toughest situation in the first-round of the NBA playoffs. The Eastern Conference leaders won just one game in the playoff series. With a 1-3 scoreline, the Pistons are on the verge of elimination. Detroit would not accept the fact that a conference leading side is losing to a Play-In side. The Pistons are back to home arena to drop a comeback. Magic outplayed Detroit 94-88 in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead. 

Only 13 teams managed to overcome a 3-1 deficit in NBA playoffs history. In the last five years, no team pulled off this miracle. Detroit posted a 60-22 record in the Eastern Conference and finished top of the table. They went 8-2 in the last ten games of the regular season. The Magic hold a 5-3 advantage over the Pistons in the current season. The hosts averaged 117.8 points per game and allowed 109.6 points per game. 

The Pistons were led by Cade Cunningham with 25 points and nine rebounds, while Tobias Harris went for 20 points. Cade Cunningham could also be our offensive threat in this game. The 24-year-old averaged 23.9 points in the regular season. We back him to score 20 or more points in the upcoming fixture. Detroit have to find their potential and force Game 6. 

Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are pumped up after a glorious start to the NBA playoffs. They beat Detroit 94-88 in Game 4 to take a decisive 3-1 lead. Orlando would eye to wrap up the series in Game 5. They know the potential of the Pistons, who finished at the top of the conference table. Who would have imagined a Play-In side defeating the conference leaders in the NBA playoffs. If a team wins the first three of the four games, they eventually take the series nine out of ten instances. 

The Denver Nuggets were the last team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the playoffs series. It’s been six years since this miraculous attempt. Magic will be on the road for Game 5 on Wednesday night to finish the series and reach the conference semifinals. They secured the 8th seed in the conference standings and posted a 45-37 record in the regular season. Orlando shot 40% from the floor and 45% from the three-point line. 

Desmond Bane led the scoring with 22 points, while Franz Wagner dropped 19 points. Paolo Banchero added 18 points and 8 rebounds in the last win. The Magic are one win away from becoming the second Play-In team to knock out the conference leaders in the opening round. Previously, Miami Heat achieved the feat and played the Finals in 2023. If we pick out the offensive threat on this side, Paolo Banchero is the right player. The 23-year-old star averaged 22.2 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in this game.
