Orlando, FL (My Sportsbook) - The
Detroit Pistons hope to return to their winning ways on Monday when they travel to Orlando to face the Magic at TD Waterhouse Centre.
The Pistons had a four-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, as they fell to the Milwaukee Bucks, 89-87.
Chauncey Billups tallied 26 points for the Pistons and Jon Barry added 14 points off the bench. Clifford Robinson scored 13 for the Pistons, while Richard Hamilton added 12.
Detroit played its second straight game without the league's rebound leader, Ben Wallace, who is hampered with a sprained ankle. As a result, the Pistons were outrebounded by Milwaukee, 39-26.
Wallace is questionable for Monday's affair.
The Pistons have won four straight on the road and are 11-7 as the guests this season. Detroit is 16-7 against Eastern Conference opponents.
Meanwhile, the Magic snapped a two-game skid on Sunday by edging the 76ers in Philadelphia, 107-105.
Tracy McGrady poured in 34 points, while handing out eight assists and pulling down seven rebounds to lead Orlando. Mike Miller added 27 points for the Magic.
Pat Garrity and Darrell Armstrong each chipped in 13 points for Orlando, which outscored Philadelphia 34-24 in the fourth quarter. The Magic shot 53 percent from the field for the game and forced 26 Sixer turnovers.
Forward Grant Hill missed Sunday's win because of his sore ankle, but is probable for Monday's contest.
The Magic have lost three of their last four home games and are 12-7 overall at TD Waterhouse Centre this season. Orlando is 12-10 against Eastern Conference foes.
The Magic faced the Pistons back on Christmas Day in Orlando, with the Magic holding on for a 104-99 victory.
Orlando has claimed three of the last four meetings between the clubs. The Pistons have lost two straight and 17 of their last 19 in Orlando.
