Detroit at Orlando

Detroit goes for the sweep tonight and after their dismantling of the Magic here in Orlando last game, many think they will get it. We think Orlando is going to scratch and claw however. Detroit cannot be "up" for this game despite a desire to get extra rest. The Pistons haven't swept a series in 18 years. Orland on the other hand does not want to go down big again and spend the whole offseason thinking about a humiliating series ending in two straight big home losses. So we believe the motivation is with the Magic. But, can they pull it off? Not if Detroit brings their 'A' game. But we are not sure they will. They are 9-22 under Flip Saunders following a great defensive performance (holding opponent to 80 points or less). They are also 3-13 ATS over the past decade on the road as a #1 seed. We look for Orlando to keep this one close.
