This game has the lowest total on the NBA betting board for good reason. Saturday’s matchup is expected to be one of the lowest-scoring contests of the day. Both teams boast top-ten rankings in various defensive metrics, including field goal percentage defense, and injuries on both sides further point to a low-scoring affair. The Pistons are likely to be without Cade Cunningham, their leading scorer and primary playmaker, while the Magic will miss Paolo Banchero’s contributions.
With these absences and both teams emphasizing defense, a tight, grind-it-out battle is expected. Historical trends also support the Under, with the total going Under in six of Detroit’s last seven games against Orlando and in nine of their last 11 road games. My projection has the combined total at just 198 points, making the 206-point line an excellent value play.
