TST Best Bets: May 3, 2026
May 1, 2026; Orlando, Florida, USA; Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (12) and guard Cade Cunningham (2) celebrate the win over the Orlando Magic at the end of game six of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Kia Center. After the Philadelphia 76ers became the 14th team to ever come back from a 3-1 lead to win the series, the Detroit Pistons enter Sunday on the brink of history themselves. Detroit looked to be in dire straits against the Orlando Magic, as their physical defense made for a very poor matchup with the Pistons’ lack of secondary offensive creators behind Cade Cunningham.
However, aided by an untimely injury to Franz Wagner for the Magic, the Pistons have started to look like the 60-win team they were this season, picking up two decisive wins to set up what should be an epic Game 7. The Eastern Conference playoffs have been a bloodbath from the very beginning, as evidenced by three out of four series reaching a Game 7. In the No.
4 vs. No. 5 matchup, the Toronto Raptors have just refused to be put away against the Cleveland Cavaliers, forcing a Game 7 through one of the most unlikely game winners we’ve ever seen.
With just 1. 2 seconds remaining, RJ Barret’s 29-foot three-point attempt hit high off the backboard before miraculously falling through the net, in shades of Kawhi Leonard’s Game 7 dagger against the 76ers all those years ago. Toronto will look to recreate some more magic on Sunday, against a heavily favored Cavs team.
