The current betting odds have the Magic listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pistons have looked great in their games this season with their 60-22 record overall which had them right at the top of the East with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 28-13 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 45-37 record overall which had them right in the middle of the East. They have also looked good on their home court with their 25-15 home record this season. This is game 4 of a 7-game series between the 1 seeded Pistons and the 8 seeded Magic in the East for the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. The Magic have a 2-1 series lead after winning game 3 by a score of 113-105. The Magic have looked great in this series and they were in complete control in game 3. They were pretty much leading by double digits the entire game and now all of the pressure is on the Pistons to have an answer. The Magic had some trouble making the playoffs as they needed the play-in tournament and even lost the first game they played in it, but they have looked a lot better since then. They have been great on the defensive end in this series, not giving up many points, and they have looked like a completely different team in their home games this season too. The Pistons had the best record in the East this season and they were rolling into the playoffs too, but they have had some trouble with the Magic this season and that trouble is showing up in the playoffs now. They are still a really young team that doesn't have a ton of playoff experience either, so they aren't used to this pressure of being expected to win as the top seed and the Magic will be looking to pounce on their opportunity at home to take complete control of this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.
