Pistons vs. Magic Prediction and Odds (Detroit To Break Road Losing Streak)
The Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic are the two worst teams in the NBA, but meet up on Friday night.
Detroit has lost three straight, including back-to-back games to the Denver Nuggets. Meanwhile, the Magic shocked the Bulls on Sunday, but have gone back to their losing ways since then.
With both teams under .500 in their last 10 games, can either step up and get a win tonight?

Pistons vs. Magic Prediction and Pick
The Pistons are on a longer losing streak than the Magic, but I'm going to back them tonight to pull off the road upset. Detroit has been playing better offensively in this recent stretch, scoring over 110 points in three of its last four games.
Surprisingly, the Magic have been top 10 in the league in defensive rating over the last 10 games, with a rating of 108.1. However, their offense is still terrible. The Magic are dead last in offensive rating over that span, which has been their issue all season long.
Detroit has already beaten Orlando twice this season and I think they do it again. Without Wendell Carter Jr. in the middle and Cole Anthony hitting a bit of a wall, Cade Cunningham and the Pistons will once again be victorious.
Pick: Pistons ML (+125)
