Grizzlies at Pistons picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 107, Pistons 104
Moneyline
LEAN GRIZZLIES (+122).
Memphis has won 5 consecutive matchups vs. Detroit and is 8-2 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings. The Grizzlies are also a surprisingly solid road team at 16-22 in away games, while Detroit is only 7-31 at home.
This is only a lean because both teams are only 2-8 in their last 10 games and both are terrible. The only real advantage here is how dominant the Grizzlies have been recently vs. Detroit.
Against the spread
PASS.
I like Memphis +3 (-110) to cover here, but its odds are better on the moneyline.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 213.5 (-110).
The Under has hit in back-to-back games for the Pistons and is 8-2 in their last 10 overall.
For Memphis, the Under hit in its last outing and is 2-1 in its last 3 road games.
The Under has been safer for both teams this season at 39-34-1 for Memphis and 37-36-1 for the Pistons. The Under has also hit in 7 of the last 10 meetings between these squads.
