Pistons vs Magic Prediction
We have two teams that have underachieved up to this point, so this is a big game for one team to get on track. The Pistons are more banged up, but they’re at home, and they’ve shown slightly more signs of life. The Magic have been a mess during this three-game losing streak, and the offense has similar struggles as last season. The Magic aren’t knocking down the outside shot and are missing lots of free throws. Pick ’em spot, I’m going to lean toward the Pistons at home.
