The Pistons have a Jerami Grant decision to make: Trade him now, or later?
He’s one of the most coveted assets in the league ahead of the Feb. 10 deadline. The Pistons aren’t in a rush, but there’s incentive for interested teams to make a big offer now.

As I said before, there’s no need for him to play tonight
Young rotation guys are hot, and an extra 2 days rest is needed when playing a team on a 14 game losing streak – 5:35 PM

The Thunder is returning to Memphis, where it last lost by a record 73 points.
We caught up with former Thunder TV analyst Grant Long, whose 1991-92 Miami Heat previously held the record for worst loss.
“That was our glowing moment if you will.”
