Detroit Pistons vs Memphis Grizzlies Point Spread Picks

Combine the Pistons (-1100), the Cavaliers (-700), and the Trail Blazers (-900) into a 3-team parlay at -273 odds.

The Detroit Pistons bring their 4-2 record to Memphis. The Grizzlies are 3-3 coming into tonight's game. The Pistons have achieved a good distribution of scoring, with seven players averaging 10 points or more per game. Cade Cunningham leads the Pistons in scoring, contributing 22 points per game, but he has done it through high-volume shooting, as he is hitting just 40.2% from the field and a woeful 27% from deep. The Pistons' top 4 scorers are all connecting on 27% or less from deep. Memphis boasts excellent depth, with eight players averaging 10 points or more per game. The Grizzlies gain some hidden value here, as they have four players hitting 90% or better from the free-throw line, and the team is shooting 85% from the free-throw line. I think Memphis can steal one at home and will play Memphis on the moneyline.

The Memphis Grizzlies welcomed Ja Morant in their last game. Morant picked up right where he left off by posting a double-double. Morant finished with 22 points and 11 assists. Memphis will obviously be better with a healthy Morant, but they have done surprisingly well without him and are in 4th place in the West at 11-7. They will host the 8-11 Pistons tonight. Detroit has made great strides after winning just 14 games all last season. The Pistons have an 8-11 record. Detroit has improved defensively but the offense is just not there yet. Detroit shoots just 46% from the floor and 35% from deep. Memphis is 7-3 ATS at home, where they average nearly 120ppg. Too much scoring will lead to big runs. Make the play on Memphis.

The Detroit Pistons had the worst losing streak in NBA history when they dropped 28 straight games, and over a 35 game stretch they went 1-35 SU which is almost half of a full NBA season with just a single win. That has created so much negativity around this team that bettors don't want any part of them. That has created value in the marketplace as silently, the Pistons have been a great play on team at 24-14 ATS in their last 38 games. The Grizzlies have 50 losses and are off what might be their most shocking win of the season as they beat the Milwaukee Bucks on the road by 10. I can see this team flat as a pancake facing a nothing team at home that just keeps covering. Make the play on Detroit.
