The Orlando Magic are pretty banged up right now, and have a couple questionable contributors for tonight's game. The Pistons are in the same boat as their best player, Rodney Stuckey dealing with the flu. It is tough to get behind a Detroit team that is 1-8 on the season, allowing 101.5 points per game in the process. That changed when Philadelphia shot 29% against them, which hardly looks like it was because of Detroit's defense. The Magic lost to the Knicks in their previous game, hardly a surprise, but what they did get was 21 points from rookies Moe Harkness, and Andrew Nicholson. It is also hard to get behind a team that is 83-156 in their last 239 games (winning one of every three games), and then ask them to win by 6 points or more on top of it. The Magic have responded to a 10+ point loss at home by going 6-0 ATS in their next game. They are also 14-5 in their last 19 vs. the NBA central. Play on Orlando.
