After falling behind 3-1 in the first-round series against the Orlando Magic, the Detroit Pistons have forced a Game 7, and they’ll look to complete an improbable comeback in front of the home crowd.

Cade Cunningham has put Detroit on his back throughout the series, and my Magic vs. Pistons predictions expect him to have another monster performance as he leads his team to victory.
Here are my best free NBA picks for Sunday’s winner-take-all Game 7 at Little Caesars Arena.
Magic vs Pistons prediction
Magic vs Pistons best bet: Cade Cunningham Over 44.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120)
Cade Cunningham was tremendous in the regular season, but as good as he was through those 64 games, he’s elevated his play to another level in the postseason.
Cunningham has averaged 32.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists in the series, good for 45.3 PRA. He’s averaged 48.7 at home compared to 42 on the road. He recorded 45+ PRA in two of three home playoff games, going for exactly 44 in the other.

The Detroit Pistons star point guard averaged an eye-popping 32.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 10.7 assists in three regular-season matchups with Orlando, comfortably clearing the Over on this combo prop in each game. He averaged 54.5 PRA in two at home in the regular season.
In the playoffs, Cunningham ranks second in points per game, first in field goal attempts, third in free throw attempts and fourth in minutes. His 23 field goal attempts are up from 18.6 in the regular season. His free throws have increased from six per game to 10.7, and his minutes have shot up from 33.9 to 40.5.
Cunningham leads all players in postseason usage at 35.3%. He comfortably leads his team in that category, with Tobias Harris coming in second at just 24.8.
The Pistons go as far as Cade takes them, and the team will need him to stuff the stat sheet in order to complete the series comeback and avoid an upset by the No. 8 seed. I’m expecting a huge game for the breakout playoff star.
