Detroit Pistons Are Built Different This Season
The Pistons at 60-22 aren't just good — they're historically good for a franchise that spent years in the lottery. Orlando's 45-37 record is respectable, but they're walking into a buzzsaw.
Key matchup to watch: Cade Cunningham against the Magic's perimeter defense will decide this game, because if Detroit's offense flows through him freely, Orlando has no answer.
The Pistons have the depth and defensive discipline to smother what the Magic do well. Orlando leans on Paolo Banchero to create, but Detroit's length and rotations make life hard for isolation scorers.
Detroit wins this one going away. Final score: Pistons 114, Magic 98.
