Magic Game 5 computer picks
Jalen Suggs Over 13.5 points (-125)
Projection: 13.9 points
The Detroit Pistons have allowed the second-most points per game to opposing starting point guards this season (21.2), making this a strong offensive matchup for Jalen Suggs after a quiet five-point outing in Game 4.
With the Orlando Magic in position to close out the series, expect Suggs to bounce back and be more aggressive offensively.
Desmond Bane Under 2.5 3-pointers (-170)
Projection: 2.16 3-pointers
The Magic have struggled from deep on the road, shooting just 32.7% (the lowest mark in the NBA this season).
This matchup doesn’t help, either. The Pistons limit opposing starting shooting guards to the second-lowest 3-point rate (27.6%), putting Desmond Bane in a tough spot to find success from beyond the arc.
Wendell Carter Jr. Over 7.5 rebounds (-140)
Projection: 7.87 rebounds
The Magic rank fifth in the NBA in offensive rebounding over their last 10 games (12.5 per contest), and Wendell Carter Jr. has capitalized with 17 and 11 boards in Games 3 and 4.
With Orlando building momentum, expect Carter to stay active on the glass and push this prop Over again tonight.
Pistons Game 5 computer picks
Jalen Duren Over 10.5 rebounds (+110)
Projection: 11.7 rebounds
The Pistons rank third in the NBA in offensive rebounding, and in an elimination game, Jalen Duren should be anything but passive on the glass. If anything, expect him to ramp up the effort to create second-chance opportunities and keep Detroit alive.
After falling short of this prop all series, this sets up as the spot for Duren to elevate his impact when it matters most.
Cade Cunningham Under 28.5 points (-105)
Projection: 27.21 points
This is the spot where the Pistons need a statement performance from Cade Cunningham. Outside of Game 1, he’s fallen just short of this points line, but if there’s a time for him to break through, it’s now.
If he hits the Under again, it likely means one of two things (or both): Detroit’s season ends early, or Cunningham finds other ways to make an impact despite not clearing the number.

Duncan Robinson Over 2.5 3-pointers (+130)
Projection: 2.62 3-pointers
This is a favorable matchup for 3-point volume against Orlando. On the road, the Magic allow the most attempts per game to opposing starting shooting guards (7.2).
With Detroit needing a spark in Game 5, Duncan Robinson is a strong candidate to capitalize when he finds his rhythm from deep.
