Pistons at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 122, Pistons 110
Moneyline
PASS.
The Grizzlies (-375) will win this game comfortably on Wednesday which is why I’m going to take my bet to the spread.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES -8.5 (-110).
The Grizzlies crushed the Trail Blazers on Monday and have dominated the Pistons with 7 straight wins and covers. Memphis is red-hot, covering the spread in 9 of its last 10 games, while Detroit has failed to cover in 4 straight. Morant looked sharp despite limited minutes.
Meanwhile, the Pistons face issues at point guard, ranking 24th in turnovers per game, and Cade Cunningham is doubtful to play. Even if he suits up, his impact will likely be limited. Back the Grizzlies to cover again.
Over/Under
BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
Memphis, ranked 3rd in pace of play, should keep this game fast-paced against Detroit. The Pistons have hit the Over in 2 of their last 3 games, while the Grizzlies have gone Over in 7 of their last 10.
Memphis C Jaren Jackson Jr. continues to shine, posting 20+ points in 3 straight games and 11 times in 16 games. Averaging 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks while shooting 53.1%, Jackson dominates on both ends. Detroit, likely without Cade Cunningham, will struggle to keep up. Expect Jackson and F Brandon Clarke to control the paint as Memphis piles on the points.
