After the Orlando Magic took Game 1 against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, Cade Cunningham and Co. responded to even the series. The Pistons, fresh off their first home playoff win since 2008 in Game 2, are slight favourites (-2.5) for Game 3 on the road.
Thunder Dominate Early Against Suns
The Oklahoma City Thunder, the top seed in the Western Conference, have dominated the Phoenix Suns in their first two games, winning by an average of 24 points. The Thunder are -9.5 road favourites for Game 3.
