Orlando at Detroit

Detroit has been keeping games close, even with lousy shooting and numerous turnovers. The Pistons shot 38 percent overall, 6-for-30 on 3-pointers, and turned the ball over 20 times, and still were in the game until the final moments in Game 4. It was another wasted great defensive effort as Orlando shot 33 percent from the field and 26 percent from beyond the arc. Now the Pistons go home in a desperate situation, while the Magic can subconsciously relax with a 3-1 series lead and a home game in their hip pockets. That is why the Pistons are prohibitive favorites in Game 5. Sunday's game stayed UNDER by 31.5 points, and Orlando went UNDER for the seventh time in eight games. The Magic are 5-0 UNDER their past five road contests. Detroit will be forced to concentrate on taking care of the ball and hope its shooting touch will reappear on its home court. Take the Pistons to cover as a Max Play, and bet the first half UNDER.
