Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 29, 2026

Paolo Banchero's 45-point outburst carried Orlando to the brink, but it wasn't enough to overcome Cade Cunningham's equally dominant 45-point performance from Detroit. The two guards locked into a scoring duel that pushed the combined total to 225, sending DAGGER's pregame OVER call cashing by 14.5 points well past the 210.5 market line. The opening quarter set the tone for a high-octane affair, with both teams combining for 64 points—the game's heaviest scoring frame. Detroit's 38 and Orlando's 26 in Q1 foreshadowed the offensive patterns to come. The Pistons widened their edge in Q2 as the combined 62 points kept the pace brisk; at halftime, the two teams had posted 126 combined points, signaling a trajectory well above the pregame total.

The second half tightened considerably. Q3 dipped to just 42 combined points—the game's slowest quarter—as both defenses stiffened. But Q4 erupted to 57, closing with Detroit's 116-109 victory. Tobias Harris added 23 points and 8 rebounds for the Pistons, while Jalen Duren chipped in 12 points and 9 rebounds. On Orlando's side, Anthony Black posted 19 points and 5 rebounds, and Desmond Bane contributed 18. The head-to-head script had tilted lower in the season's first two meetings (182 and 181 combined), making the 225 finish a sharp departure from recent form between these teams.
