The Orlando Magic<\/a> (1-3) face the Detroit Pistons<\/a> (2-2) Wednesday with tip-off from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit,\u00a0Michigan, set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s<\/a> NBA odds around the Magic vs. Pistons odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions<\/a> for the best bets.<\/p>\n

2024-25 season series: Magic won 2-1<\/p>\n

The Magic dropped their third straight game Monday night, falling 136-124 to the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> as 6.5-point road favorites as the Over (227) comfortably hit. F Paolo Banchero led the way with 32 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists as all 5 Orlando\u2019s starters reached double figures and the team shot an efficient 54.9% from the field. But 13 turnovers proved too costly to overcome.<\/p>\n

The Pistons couldn\u2019t keep pace Monday night, suffering a 116-95 home loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and missing as 2.5-point underdogs as the Under (231) cashed. Detroit never found a rhythm offensively, shooting below 37.9% from the floor and turning the ball over 26 times. G Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with just 12 points.<\/p>\n

BET PISTONS (-105).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m rolling with the Pistons on the moneyline Wednesday night \u2014 and the timing couldn\u2019t be better for Detroit to grab a win at home.<\/p>\n

Orlando is riding a 3-game losing streak and hasn\u2019t covered a single spread yet this season. Their defense \u2014 usually their calling card \u2014 completely fell apart Monday, giving up 136 points to Philadelphia. Even Banchero admitted their up-tempo offense has caused some mix-ups defensively, and teams are taking advantage. That\u2019s the kind of thing Detroit can exploit, especially at Little Caesars Arena, where they finished 22-19 last season.<\/p>\n

The Pistons were flat against Cleveland, no doubt, but they\u2019ve still covered in 2 of their last 3 and should come out with some urgency. Cunningham has started the year strong and I expect him to bounce back from a poor game. Detroit\u2019s frontcourt \u2014 Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart \u2014 can also give the Magic real problems inside.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: The Magic are searching for answers, while Detroit has the matchup edges to get back on track. I like the Pistons to take care of business and pick up the win on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

No need to play with this small spread, just take the Pistons moneyline.<\/p>\n

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

The Over looks like the right play Wednesday night. Orlando has gone Over in 4 of its last 6 games and 2 of the past 3 head-to-head matchups have topped the number. Detroit shot poorly Monday against Cleveland, but a return home should boost efficiency. With both teams pushing tempo, scoring chances should be plentiful \u2014 take the Over.<\/p>\n
