Grizzlies to Win
The Grizzlies are on a four-match winning streak and won seven of their previous ten games. In addition, Memphis won the last five h2h meetings making them the clear favorites according to the bookies and the stats to win this game.
Over 219.5 Points
Eight of the Grizzlies previous ten games produced over 219.5 points. The same trend happened in the Pistons’ six of ten outings giving a possibility of 70% for this bet to succeed. Also, the last three h2h games ended with the same sum of points.
Grizzlies +7.5 Points Handicap
The Grizzlies covered the suggested handicap in the last five games with the Pistons. Likewise, they won six of their last seven games.
Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis Grizzlies recorded their third consecutive game after beating Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. The Grizzlies are having a very impressive season with a 16-9 record and are third in the Western Conference. One of the main reasons for the Grizzlies’ success is their strength under the basket as they lead the NBA in rebounds with 48.7 rebounds per game.
Since the start of the season, coach Taylor Jenkins’ team has been very solid defensively allowing their opponents to score 112 points per game. In their last game, Jo Morant had a wonderful game with a triple-double with 26 points 13 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons failed to register their second consecutive win for the second time this season as they lost to the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. The Pistons find themselves second from the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 7-20 win/loss record.
Detroit have the fourth-worst defense in the NBA allowing their opponents to score 116.9 points per game. On the offensive side, the Pistons are 24th with 109.9 points scored per game. Against the Pelicans, the Pistons shot 39% from the field which is almost their season’s average at the 29th position.
This should be an easy game for the Grizzlies especially when Jo Morant is playing the way he is. The Pistons already lost twice at home to the Grizzlies and were thrashed by 30 points the last time they visited Memphis last January. We predict a Grizzlies win.
The Grizzlies’ LaRavia is questionable while Bane and Green are injured.
On the Pistons’ side, Livers and Cunningham are on the injury list.
Who won the last meeting between these clubs?
The Grizzlies beat the Pistons 122-112 on 05/12/2022 in Detroit.
