Detroit Pistons at Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
Neither team has been padding their W/L record in a positive way in recent games with the Pistons on a 2-7 run over their last nine matches and the Grizzlies 3-7 over their last ten. However, Detroit has been playing hard over the last week with a 2-2 record and a combined margin of six points in their two losses that came against playoff bound teams. Memphis easily dispatched of Detroit in their earlier match-up winning by 12 on the road, but they have absolutely nothing to play for tonight and should not be favored by this many points.
