The Edge
Orlando covered a larger number in Game 1 on this same floor, Detroit's ATS form is cold (4-6 last 10), and the Pistons' shooting inefficiency (40.3% FG) makes 8.5 points a lot to lay even against a flawed Magic team.
Key Factors
Orlando won the head-to-head Game 1 matchup 112-101 at Detroit just 3 days ago — direct recent evidence they can compete on this floor
Orlando's FG% of 48.9% (#4) dwarfs Detroit's 40.3% (#28) — a massive shooting efficiency gap that keeps games close
Orlando's road ATS record as underdog is 15-20 (.429) but Detroit's ATS as home favorite is only 19-21 (.475) — neither side covers reliably here
Detroit has gone 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games and lost 4 of their last 5 straight up, including two home losses to Milwaukee
