The Edge
Detroit is the clearly superior team by every efficiency metric, but -8.5 in a Game 7 between playoff-tested opponents with a 3-3 series is too many points to lay, and Detroit's recent ATS failures as a favorite make the Magic a viable underdog cover.
Key Factors
Series is 3-3 with an average margin of ~10 points per game — Orlando won Game 6 79-93 on Detroit's floor, showing they can compete without Wagner/Isaac
Orlando ATS as underdog: 15-20 (.429) is modest, but Detroit ATS as home favorite is only 19-21 (.475) — no strong cover history at home
Detroit's last 5 ATS: 1-4 (only 1 cover), including three straight ATS losses as a favorite, suggesting the market has been overvaluing them
Orlando's road record ATS (19-22, .463) is comparable to Detroit's home ATS (19-22, .463) — no meaningful home-court ATS edge for Detroit at this number
