The Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic take their Round 1 set to the “Sunshine State” with the series locked up at 1-1.

Game 3 has a tight spread, but my same-game parlay tips its hat to the visitors, with Detroit boasting one of the best road records in the NBA.
Beyond that moneyline pick, however, I like Jalen Suggs to keep hitting from deep while Tobias Harris’ inefficient offense comes back to earth.
Here are my Pistons vs. Magic predictions and NBA picks on April 24.
Our best Pistons vs Magic SGP for Game 3
The Detroit Pistons let homecourt slip away but can build on the momentum of a Game 2 win. Their smothering defense keeps this limited Orlando Magic offense away from the rim and turns the Magic’s miscues into easy buckets on the other end.

Jalen Suggs has made three triples in each of the first two games of the series but still isn’t making the most of the wide open looks offered up by the Pistons’ perimeter defense. He’s a much sharper shooter at home and makes Detroit pay from distance in Game 3.
Tobias Harris has scored 16 and 17 points in the first two games despite poor shooting, especially from deep. Detroit is spreading the scoring around and Harris’ Game 3 projections come in short of his scoring prop of 15.5 points O/U.
