Pistons vs Magic prediction

Who will win Pistons vs Magic Game 4?

Magic: As good as Detroit has played during the regular season, they are one of the most vulnerable seeds we’ve seen in a while. Recurring injuries have cut into Orlando’s win total and forced them into the play-in tournament, but a healthy Magic team is dangerous and I’ll take them to win this one outright.

Best bet on Pistons vs Magic: Wendell Carter Jr. Over 10.5 points (-115)

Wendell Carter Jr. put up great numbers in the first three games of the series against the Detroit Pistons, averaging 11.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Carter scored 11+ points in 45 of 78 regular season games, and reached that total in two of three playoff games.

Announcement

The Orlando Magic big man is an effective spacer who can stretch Jalen Duren with his 3-point shooting ability. Carter went just 1-for-7 from deep in this series, but positive regression is expected in that department.

WCJ has hit the Over on this score line in three of its last four meetings against the Pistonsand has strong upside on the glass that he can leverage into second-chance scoring opportunities.

Among players with more than 25 playoff minutes per game, Carter ranks first in offensive rebounding percentage (10.7%). Detroit was also vulnerable on the glass during the regular season, giving up the seventh-most rebounds and fourth-most offensive rebounds per game.

Carter represents a complete nightmare for the Pistons, and his shooting and rebounding abilities will lead to another 11+ point performance at home.

Parlay of the same game Pistons vs Magic

The Magic are finally healthy and going up against a Pistons team that has no answer for their size and shooting ability. I will take Orlando as a cover as a small house dog.

Two out of three games have ended in defeat in this series, and it’s thanks to strong defensive efforts from both sides. The Magic and Pistons rank in the top 3 in defensive rating in the postseason.

Detroit finished second in that category in the regular season, while Orlando finished 13th.

A pair of 6-foot-10 Duke big men notched a double-double in Game 3, and I’m going with the pair of former Blue Devils to reach that statistical milestone once again.
