Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 1, 2026

Detroit's 106-92 victory over Orlando was a wire-to-wire defensive effort that left the market total in the dust. The Pistons controlled the early pace—combining for 49 points in the first quarter—then seized control with a 58-point second quarter that featured relentless offensive execution. Cade Cunningham orchestrated the attack with 29 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds, while Tobias Harris chipped in 23 points and 7 boards. By halftime, the combined score sat at 107, already tracking well below the 224.5 market total.

The second half tightened considerably. Both teams managed just 49 combined points in the third quarter—a sharp deceleration—before finishing with 42 in the fourth. Paolo Banchero led the Magic's resistance with 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Desmond Bane added 17 points and 7 assists, but Orlando never threatened a comeback. Detroit's Jalen Duren secured 16 points and 10 rebounds in the paint to hold firm down the stretch.

The final combined total of 198 landed 26.5 points shy of the closing line, a decisive miss for the over. Detroit's recent form—averaging 118.3 points scored per game—paired with Orlando's defensive competence (109.6 allowed per game in the last 10) suggested caution above 224, and the game bore that out. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.
