The Orlando Magic shocked the Detroit Pistons in their series opener, and that has the East’s No. 1 seed ripe for a rebound in Game 2 tonight.

After an extended break, Detroit came out flat against an Orlando squad that has been fighting for its life in the Play-In Tournament.
My Magic vs. Pistons predictions are banking on Detroit to come out swinging in the opening 24 minutes.
Here are my best NBA picks for Wednesday, April 22.
Our best Magic vs Pistons SGP for Game 2
The Detroit Pistons were rusty and not ready for the intensity the Orlando Magic brought into Game 1. The Pistons have been one of the NBA’s best first-half teams, ranking No. 4 in 1H net rating and boasting a 45-35-3 ATS record versus the 1H spread this season.
Cade Cunningham dished out 17 potential assists in Game 1, but the Pistons’ poor shooting converted only four of those setups. Before his lung injury, Cunningham was routinely racking up 10+ assists, and with Detroit locked in for Game 2, those dimes should start cashing in.

Duncan Robinson continues to make defenses pay from beyond the arc. He made three triples in Game 1 and has knocked down at least three 3-pointers in nine of his last dozen games.
