Detroit hasn't been playing well enough to lay this many points to any team, and the Magic has won and covered the last three meetings. The Pistons won their last two games, but those followed a seven-game losing streak as the Pistons entered a tougher part of their schedule after a strong start to the season against weaker competition. Detroit shot just 41.9 percent in its win over Indiana on Friday with Andre Drummond scoring a team-leading 23 points while pulling down 13 rebounds and Reggie Bullock adding 15 points. The Pacers were only 35 of 87 from the floor and nine of 30 from 3-point range. The Pistons can't depend on opponents shooting that badly every game. Take the big points here with the Orlando Magic.
