The Orlando Magic can put the No. 1-seeded Detroit Pistons on the ropes with another win tonight, and our Pistons vs. Magic predictions are happy to take the points with the Magic at home.
We break down why in our NBA picks and SGP predictions for Game 4 below.
Our best Pistons vs Magic SGP for Game 4
Wendell Carter Jr. has provided excellent numbers through the first three games of the series against the Detroit Pistons, averaging 11.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per contest. Carter scored 11+ points in 45 of 78 regular-season matchups, and he’s reached that total in two of three playoff games.
The Orlando Magic big man is an effective floor-spacer who can spread out Jalen Duren with his 3-point shooting ability. Carter has gone just 1-for-7 from deep in this series, but he’s due for positive regression in that department.
The Magic are finally healthy and rolling against a Pistons team that doesn’t have any answers for their size and shot-making abilities. I’ll take Orlando to cover as a small home dog.
Two of three games have gone Under in this series, and it's thanks to strong defensive efforts on both sides. The Magic and Pistons each rank in the Top 3 in defensive rating in the postseason.
Detroit finished second in that category in the regular season, while Orlando was 13th.
