The Pistons have been one of the league's main underdogs for several seasons now, but they've actually done pretty well in the current championship. J.B. Bickerstaff was leading the team before the start of the championship, and they're currently in the play-in zone. Detroit's in tenth place in the Eastern Conference with 14 wins and 18 losses.
In their last game, Detroit didn't win, but that was to be expected when they played in Colorado against Denver. Bickerstaff's team looked great on offense, but the other team's attack, led by Nikola Jokic, couldn't stop them, with the final score being 121-134. This means the Pistons' winning streak of three games in a row has come to an end.
Orlando
The Magic have been playing without Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner for ages, Moe Wagner is out for the rest of the season with an injury, and in the last game they also lost Jalen Suggs. In the home game against Brooklyn, the guard only played for 13 minutes, but even that didn't stop Jamal Mosley's team from winning. 102-101 - Orlando took a 20-point lead into the second half. It should be noted that the game against Brooklyn ended the Magic's long winning streak of seven consecutive games. During this stretch, the Florida team failed twice to New York, lost to Oklahoma and Miami, but beat Boston 108-104.
Expert Betting Tips
Orlando, despite roster problems, remains one of the best defences this season. Jamal Mosley's team is conceding in an average of 103.5 points per game, while scoring 105.9 - the worst in the league. With this imbalance in the Magic's game, we're going for a total under in the next game.Also, Detroit's got a new coach, J.B. Bickerstaff, and the Pistons are looking stronger on defence. Another option for betting could be for Detroit to win on fouls.
