The Magic vs. Pistons Showdown: A Tale of Two Teams Who Can’t Shoot
The Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons are set to clash on October 29, and if you’re betting on this game, you might as well toss a dart at the board and hope for the best. Both teams are offensive duds, with the Magic ranking 26th in offensive efficiency and the Pistons trailing at 27th. It’s like watching two chefs try to cook a five-star meal with a burnt-out oven and a broken whisk.
The Underdog (Literally):
The UNDER 226.5 total points (-110) is the way to go. With both teams combining for a combined 228.5-point total on the board, the implied probability of 52.4% feels generous. Why? Because the Magic are shooting 44.3% from the field (27th) and the Pistons are even worse at 43.1% (29th). Their combined defensive rankings? The Magic allow 115.3 PPG (26th), and the Pistons? A staggering 116.8 PPG (29th). This is a game where even the popcorn might score more efficiently.
Player Props to Bet on (Because Why Not?):
- Franz Wagner (Magic): Wagner is projected for 21.5 points (-115). He’s averaging 20.8 PPG this season, so this line feels tight. But with the Pistons’ porous defense, take the UNDER 21.5.
- Desmond Bane (Magic): Bane’s 3-pointers prop is set at 2.5 makes (-114). He’s only hitting 2.4 per game, so take the UNDER. Why? Because Bane’s shooting 32% from deep this season—because of course.
- Cade Cunningham (Pistons): The 8.5-point spread favorite? Please. He’s averaging 25.5 PPG, but with Jalen Duren out and the Magic’s defense, take the UNDER 25.5 points (-115).
The Verdict:
This game is a defensive slugfest in disguise. The Pistons’ 8th-ranked defense (-111.2 defensive rating) will suffocate the Magic’s anemic offense, and the Magic’s 26th-ranked offense will do its part by missing open threes. Take the UNDER 226.5 (-110) and laugh all the way to the bank. And if you must pick a winner, the Pistons (-1.5) at -110 are a toss-up, but only if you’re betting on who can lose less.
Final Score Prediction: Detroit 105, Orlando 103. The Pistons win by 2, and both teams combine for 218 points. You’re welcome.
