Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic prediction

The Detroit Pistons have been a lot more competitive than their record suggests, and they’ve covered 6 of their last 10 games. This is a lot of points to throw the Pistons way, especially in a weird early game. You also have to question the motivation for the Magic. With all that said, the Magic are 39-21 ATS on the season, making them the best cover team in the NBA. The Magic have a cover percentage of 65 percent. You’re sitting on a mountain of profit just blindly backing the team in Orlando. Forget how thick the line is. I’ll keep backing the Magic.
