Tip and bets
The Pistons are head and shoulders stronger: they confidently win face-to-face meetings and beat the Magic 106-92 in the last confrontation, demonstrating a powerful second half and a balanced offensive game. Magic, of course, know how to surprise: a dramatic comeback against the Pelicans and several bright victories prove it. But the team is still unstable, and the absence of Franz Wagner can significantly weaken the attacking potential. The Pistons have already secured a high position in the conference and are striving to maintain momentum even in the absence of some players, which makes them favorites.
Prediction — Detroit wins with a handicap of (-2.5) points in 1.81
