There’s plenty on the line in Orlando Monday night as the Detroit Pistons (57-21) visit the Magic (42-36) at Kia Center. While Detroit has already secured the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, the urgency belongs to Orlando, which is still fighting to climb out of the play-in range with just a handful of games remaining.
The Magic currently sit ninth in the East but remain within striking distance of the top six, trailing teams like Philadelphia, Toronto, and Charlotte by just a game or two. With the top six earning automatic NBA playoff berths and seeds 7-10 forced into the play-in tournament, the Magic must treat this like a playoff game. Orlando enters on a two-game win streak, while Detroit has been even sharper lately, riding a three-game run despite missing its top star.
