<p>The Magic will host this upcoming clash on Saturday, May 2 (10:00 AEST), and they’ll feel they will have a good chance of upsetting the #1 seed in the East.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick: </strong>Magic to win</p><p><strong>Value bet: </strong>Orlando Magic - 1st Half Winner</p><p><strong>Long shot: </strong>Paolo Banchero To Score 25+ Points</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>Orlando currently lead the series 3-2 after some impressive performances.</p><p>They’ve had to play more playoff basketball this season than most, having had to claim the #8 seed through the Play-In Tournament. And, it appears to have been paying off.</p><p>As the #1 seed, the Pistons would have been expected to coast through without too many issues.</p><p>However, Detroit have put themselves in a position where they need to win every game from this point on if they are to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Recapping the first-round results:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Game 1: Magic won 112-101 in Detroit</li><li>Game 2: Pistons won 98-83 in Detroit</li><li>Game 3: Magic won 113-105 in Orlando</li><li>Game 4: Magic won 94-88 in Orlando</li><li>Game 5: Pistons won 116-109 in Detroit</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Indeed, it looks as though the Magic might enjoy themselves at home based on previous results…</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>For this reason, we think the <strong>Magic offer value as the underdog</strong> worth exploring.</p><p>They have won the two games to have been played in Orlando so far, and have won each of their last four games as the home underdogs.</p><p>While Detroit have everything to lose in this one, the Magic know the pressure is slightly off them, which they can use to their advantage with home-court advantage.</p><p>Additionally, the Magic like to make a fast start when they are playing at home.</p><p>They have won the first half in each of their last 10 home games against the Pistons, meaning there’s potential value in the <strong>Orlando Magic - 1st Half Winner</strong> market.</p><p>Elsewhere, we think the <strong>total points</strong> market offers some value. The line has been set at 210.5 for Game 6.</p><p>Of the five games played in this series, the over has hit three times, including once in Orlando.</p><p>However, with seven of the Magic's last nine games having gone under the total match points line, we think there’s value in the <strong>under</strong> worth exploring here.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba/detroit-pistons-at-orlando-magic-10419801">NBA Magic vs Pistons betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p>We think the<strong> Magic offer good value as likely winners</strong>.</p><p>The pressure is on Detroit, while the Magic know they have good home form against the Pistons.</p><p>A long shot we like the look of and feel has value worth exploring is the<strong> Paolo Banchero To Score 25+ Points</strong> market.</p><p>He has scored 25+ points in four of the Magic's last five playoff home games.</p>
