Top Magic vs. Pistons predictions<\/p>\n

After 10,000 simulations of Magic vs. Pistons, SportsLine’s model is\u00a0going Under on the total (218.5).\u00a0The Under has hit in three of their last four head-to-head matchups. The Under has also hit in seven of the last 10 Magic games, and in four of the last seven Pistons games. The Under has also cleared in 44 of the last 83 Detroit games.<\/p>\n

The SportsLine model is projecting the Magic to have just three players scoring 13 points or more, led by Paolo Banchero’s<\/a> 22.4 points. Cade Cunningham<\/a> is projected to lead the Pistons with 25.3 points scored, but only three Detroit players will score 14 or more points. The teams are projected to combine for 208 total points as the Under hits 68% of the time, making it a great selection for anybody targeting NBA parlay betting<\/a>.
