Detroit’s top-ranked defense and Orlando’s 9-man rotation set up a series opener between teams that split four regular-season meetings.
- Tonight at 6:30 p.m., the Orlando Magic face the top-seeded Detroit Pistons in Game 1 at Little Caesars Arena, launching their Eastern Conference first-round series.
