Orlando Magic at Detroit Pistons
Detroit Pistons -8.5
The pick: Detroit Pistons -8.5 at −114 (FanDuel)
Won. Final: Orlando Magic 83, Detroit Pistons 98.
Detroit's 60-22 home record and Orlando's missing defensive anchor Jonathan Isaac create a perfect storm for a Pistons blowout. With no injuries to key players and a motivated home team looking to take a 2-0 series lead, Detroit should control tempo and exploit Orlando's weakened frontcourt defense. The Magic will struggle to contain Detroit's balanced attack without Isaac's rim protection.
