Orlando at Detroit

April 22, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

Detroit's week off between the end of the regular season and the playoffs proved detrimental, as the Pistons came out rusty, shooting 40 percent overall and missing 22 of 32 from 3-point range. Cade Cunningham poured in 39 points, but only one other scorer, Tobias Harris, made it into double figures with 17 points. The Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their past five games following a loss, and Orlando is 3-8 ATS after an ATS win. The Magic are also 1-5 ATS in their past six playing on two days' rest. Orlando has gone UNDER four straight games and six of seven against teams with .600 winning percentages. Three of the past four meetings have stayed UNDER. Detroit is still on a 10-5 ATS run, and it will be focused from the start, while the Magic are in letdown mode. Detroit is in a great bounce-back spot, with favorites in this range going 88-45 ATS (66.2%). In the playoffs, teams like the Pistons, seeking quick revenge, have also outscored their opponents 106.5-93.9. Two plays here: Take the Pistons (GOY), and make it a Max Play on the UNDER.
