Point Spread Pick for Magic vs. Pistons
- Detroit Pistons -3 (4 Units)
The Pistons have the edge here because they’re playing very well offensively, scoring more than 120 points per game in their last three games, while making over 50 percent of their shots. 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.
