How to get Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic NBA tickets: NBA Playoffs, prices & more

The Orlando Magic enter Game 5 with a commanding 3–1 series lead, heading back to Detroit to face the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. After a dominant home stand in Florida, the 8th-seeded Magic are just one win away from completing a massive first-round upset, while the top-seeded Pistons find themselves on the brink of a historic collapse.

The 1-seed vs. 8-seed matchup in the Eastern Conference First Round has swung heavily in Orlando's favor. The Magic successfully defended their home court at the Kia Center, taking both Game 3 (113–105) and Game 4 (94–88). Despite Cade Cunningham’s Herculean effort for Detroit, Orlando’s depth and the addition of Desmond Bane have overwhelmed the Pistons' defense, pushing the series to a potential elimination game tomorrow night.
