Showdown at the bottom of the table in the East!
With Orlando Magic against the Detroit Pistons rises a basement duel in the Eastern Conference. The home side are in last place in the East and right in front of them are the visiting Motown basketball team.
Orlando Magic – statistics & current form
Magic is not only the worst team in the East, but also the favorite target of the rest of the teams in the NBA.
Head coach Jamahl Mosley’s men have only won eight of their 33 home games to date. This is once again the weakest record in the Eastern Conference
One of the weak points of the team, which includes the two German NBA players Moritz and Franz Wagner, is the harmless offense. Only Oklahoma scores less points on 100 game situations with possession than the Florida franchise.
Detroit Pistons – statistics & current form
The Pistons can continue to rely on Cade Cunningham. The rookie is completing a great first season in the NBA and is the epitome of hope in Detroit – for better times in the future.
However, the newbie can’t do it all by himself, which is why the team has only managed second-to-last place in the East so far this season. On top of that, Cunningham had to miss the last game due to illness.
As with their opponents, one of their shortcomings is their weak offense. In the relevant rating, the guests rank directly behind Orlando on the third last place.
Orlando Magic – Detroit Pistons tip
So far this season, the host has always prevailed in this pairing. Through this, the guests have two wins and one loss. For the next duel between Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons, the tip aims at another home win – including a lead of at least four points.
Although the home side is the weakest team at home in the Eastern Conference, this disadvantage is offset by Detroit’s weakness away from home. The Pistons have won only 20 percent of the 35 games so far
In addition, they will in all likelihood be without their top rookie Cade Cunningham. Hamidou Diallo, another regular for the visitors, is out. The statistics also back up the prediction: only two of the last ten away games at the Amway Center have been won by the second-bottom team in the East.
