Isaac has been on the injury report for all three games in this series and was ruled out of the first two. Even if the 28-year-old power forward is available for Game 3, don’t expect him to play much at all on Saturday.

Banchero’s production on Wednesday wasn’t as spectacular as Sunday’s in the series opener. However, the former first-overall pick pieced things together throughout his 34 minutes, ultimately leading to a solid stat line. He shot inefficiently from the field and struggled greatly at the charity stripe, but still finished as one of Orlando’s top scorers in the game. Banchero also contributed on the glass and as a passer before the final horn sounded. The Magic will go home for Game 3, where Banchero could be poised for a bounce-back performance.

Wagner was one of many Pistons players to struggle on the offensive end; he shot poorly from the field, failed to make a three-pointer, and had more turnovers than he had assists. Decent production at the free-throw line ultimately helped him sneak into double figures as a scorer, but otherwise, the majority of his success came on defense in this game. Wagner led all players in steals on the evening in his 32 minutes, but he will look for a more balanced effort in Game 3.

Suggs led the Magic in scoring on a night that he accounted for over one-quarter of the team’s made field goals. He shot inefficiently, especially from beyond the arc, but made contributions as a rebounder and facilitator to help round out his final stat line. Suggs and the rest of the Magic will need to shoot much better in Game 3 than the 33 percent they tallied on Wednesday. Perhaps the familiarity of the home rims could help them get back into rhythm.

Harris put together another solid outing against the Magic, responding to his 17-point Game 1 with a double-double on Wednesday. The veteran forward led all players in rebounds and was the only Pistons player to record multiple blocks and steals. He’s yet to find his rhythm from beyond the arc in this series, but he’ll have an opportunity to do so in Game 3.

Duren had more of an impact in Game 2 than in Game 1, even though his counting stats didn’t change much. He scored a few more points on Wednesday and was a bit more involved on offense, both as a passer and a finisher. Yet, his numbers through two games haven’t come close to his regular-season averages. He’s struggling particularly with putting the ball in the basket, but will have a chance to find his rhythm in Game 3.

Cunningham followed an impressive 39-point outing with another stellar showing in Wednesday’s win. The former first-overall pick continued to fill it up efficiently as a scorer, but his impact as a facilitator more closely resembled his dominant ways during the regular season than in Game 1. He was the only player in Wednesday’s contest to reach double figures in assists, which, combined with his team-high in points, led to a double-double. Cunningham’s seven turnovers in this game are notable. Yet, the positives outweighed the negatives in the decisive bounce-back victory.

Isaac’s continued absence does not affect the Magic rotation, as he has not appeared in a game since March 12. At this point, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll play at all this series, given the time missed.
