Stephen Nover's NBA Saturday Spread Crusher - 38-24 NBA Run
(NBA) Orlando vs. Detroit, 02/24/2024 8:00 PM, Score: 112 - 109
Point Spread: 8.00 | -107.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Win
Orlando is one of the more improved teams this season. The Magic came out of All-Star break with an impressive, 116-109, road win against the Cavaliers two days ago. 

The Magic are young, though. I don't trust their mentality to bury the Pistons in what is a letdown and look-ahead spot for them. The Magic have a bigger game on tap Sunday when they play the Hawks in Atlanta. 

Detroit lost, 129-115, on the road to the Pacers this past Thursday in its first game following All-Star break. The Pistons were rusty in the first half, but scored 45 points in the third quarter. They outscored the Pacers by 15 points in the second half. 

Now the Pistons get to play their first home game since Feb. 4 when they lost, 111-99, to the Magic. Detroit is a better team with a healthy Cade Cunningham, who had 30 points and eight assists against the Pacers. 

The Pistons have quietly been effective point spread-wise at home covering seven of their last nine home contests.
