This is a hefty scoring line for Jalen Duren in what would certainly qualify as a difficult matchup. Duren has improved as a scorer, however he averages 18.9 PPG while sharing the court with Cade Cunningham, compared to 22 PPG without him this season. He’s facing an Orlando squad that has been very good against opposing Centers.

Caesar’s / DK. After watching both Magic play-in games, it’s evident that Franz Wagner is still working to get his conditioning back to normal levels, and his first step was a bit slower than usual. This Pistons defense is not an ideal opponent for working your way back, playing a straight-up, physical brand of defense. Paolo Banchero has performed well in this matchup, and has proved that he’s going to dominate the ball (for better or worse) and Desmond Bane’s presence should relegate Wagner to #3 in the pecking order.

Paolo Banchero played a below-average 33 minutes in Friday's blowout win over Charlotte. If the Magic can keep this one competitive, he should play close to 40 minutes Sunday. Banchero has cleared this prop total in five straight matchups with Detroit, thanks in part to his ability to get to the foul line. Banchero also has been a bigger scorer on the road this season, averaging 23.0 points in 34.2 minutes.
