The Orlando Magic will look to break a three-game losing streak when they travel to face the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Despite a fantastic offseason and insanely high expectations surrounding the team, Orlando has failed to capture a win since an opening night victory over the Miami Heat. The Pistons have played a difficult schedule so far, but have an even 2-2 record that they will try to improve upon here.
Unsurprisingly, it is not the defense that is letting the Magic down. Orlando has largely been solid at preventing opposing baskets, but the offense has been completely inept. The issue last season was a lack of three-point shooting, and that has carried over into the beginning of 2025, with the Magic shooting 28% from deep, the second-worst number in the NBA. Shooting guard Desmond Bane and forwards Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero will need to shoot much better if Orlando hopes to get back on a winning road.
Despite a 2-2 record, the Pistons have proven themselves to be solid on both ends of the floor. Guard Cade Cunningham leads the team in scoring with just over 20 points per game, and four other players also average double-digit points. Defensively, Ausar Thompson anchors a deep, switchable lineup that is built to give opponents like the Magic fits. The Pistons should put on a good show in a potential Eastern Conference playoff preview.

Magic vs Pistons Prediction and Pick
It is a shock to see the Magic as such small underdogs in this game, but that is likely thanks to a couple of injuries to the Detroit roster. LeVert has only played one game, and the Pistons have managed perfectly well in his absence, leaving the real concern with Thompson. However, his injury is only an illness, so it is fair to expect him to play against an important conference opponent.
With that being said, the Pistons have to be the pick. They are playing on their home floor, and the Magic have been as cold as an NBA team can get. The Magic will struggle to stay in the game against any team in the association as long as they continue to shoot as poorly as they have been, and it does not help that the Pistons are solid on defense. Take Detroit to defend its home court with a second-half surge.
