What to Know
The Pistons will be in front of their home fans on Sunday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will take on the Orlando Magic at 3:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. The Pistons have been getting the ball to fall more lately as they’ve increased their point totals each of their last three games.
The Pistons traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn’t gotten any smoother. They took a 136-125 hit to the loss column at the hands of Los Angeles on Friday. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Pistons in their matchups with the Clippers: they’ve now lost nine in a row.
Despite their loss, the Pistons saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Jaden Ivey, who scored 28 points along with seven rebounds, was perhaps the best of all.
Meanwhile, Orlando sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 108-106 victory over the Timberwolves on Friday. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Magic were down 17 points with 11:07 left in the second quarter.
Detroit’s loss dropped their record down to 6-42. As for Orlando, they are on a roll lately: they’ve won three of their last four matches, which provided a massive bump to their 26-23 record this season.
While only the Magic took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. Looking ahead, the Magic are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 6.5 points. Detroit might be worth a quick bet since they’re sitting on a eight game streak of covering the spread when playing as the underdog.
The Pistons might still be hurting after the devastating 123-91 loss they got from the Magic in their previous meeting back in December of 2023. Will the Pistons have more luck at home instead of on the road?

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a 5-year-old child was shot in the arm near a park on Tuesday.
The shooting happened at about 8:50 p.m. near the Fargo-Oaklfield Playground on the city’s west side. Police Chief Todd Bettison says the child was in front of his home riding a bike with his father supervising at the time of the shooting.
Bettison says an individual at the park fired multiple shots, striking the child. He says the boy’s father reported hearing shots and the child falling from his bike.
Bettison says the child is expected to be OK.
Bettison says the person appears to have been firing shots randomly, which he calls “problematic.” He says a person of interest is described as possibly between 15 and 16 years old and wearing a mask. He says the person is known to frequent the area.
“When you fire a weapon, what goes up must go down,” Bettison said. “To parents and everyone, know where your kids are. Juveniles should not have guns, and whether you’re an adult or a child, you should not be firing a weapon inside of the city limits.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield released a statement, saying in part, “By the grace of God, this young boy will recover from his injury and is on his way home from the hospital. With that said, this incident was senseless and could have had a much more tragic ending.
“Every child in Detroit deserves to feel safe riding their bike, playing outside, and simply being a child in their own neighborhood. We cannot accept a reality where our children are placed in harm’s way because someone chose to recklessly fire a gun.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-Speak Up.
