They rebound the ball well and grab more than 13 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Magic aren’t playing well defensively, and they gave up more than 120 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Pistons. Go with Detroit to cover the spread.
