Stephen Nover's NBA Thursday Bookie Basher
(NBA) Detroit vs. Orlando,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -101.00 Orlando (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a rarity - laying points with the Magic. But I see Orlando having some intensity at home after giving up 150 points at home in a 42-point loss to the Nets at home two days ago. They couldn't handle Kyrie Irving.

Also Orlando is playing Detroit, a fellow bottom-feeder. The Pistons don't have a player the caliber of Irving.

The Pistons have lost four in a row. They are 7-28 on the road and may not have their star rookie, Cade Cunningham. He missed Detroit's last game because of illness.

The Magic actually had been playing well before that embarrassing loss to the Nets. During their previous four games, the Magic lost to the 76ers by two points in overtime, knocked off the much improved Timberwolves by eight points, defeated the Pelicans on the road and lost by only three to the Suns.
