Key Stats
Memphis Grizzlies
The three biggest contributors to the Grizzlies are out. Jackson Jr. gives 20.5 points per game. Meanwhile, Santi Aldama offers 5.8 rebounds per game. And finally, Vince Williams Jr. dishes out 3.4 assists per game. Therefore, someone else will need to step up big time tonight.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons are likewise limited tonight. Cade Cunningham is out. Cunningham leads the team with 22.7 points per game. Meanwhile, Duren adds 11.7 rebounds per matchup. Furthermore, the team will need to find someone else to dish out assists. Because Cunningham is out, someone else needs to step up. Cunningham also leads the team with 7.5 assists per game.
Injury Report
Memphis Grizzlies
- Vince Williams Jr.- Out
- Santi Aldama- Out
- Brandon Clarke – GTD
- Jaren Jackson Jr. – Out
- Desmond Bane – Out
Detroit Pistons
- Taj Gibson – GTD
- Simone Fontecchio – Out

Game Prediction
Detroit would be underdogs with or without Cunningham. This speaks to the level of roster that they have, even though you look on the other side and see their injury report. Therefore, this line not only makes sense, but the pick tonight is pretty simple. Even with Cunningham, I would feel comfortable picking Memphis to win. However, seeing as he is out, I like the overall rest of the roster better on the home team side tonight. Therefore, I’m going with the Memphis Grizzlies to win and cover the single-point spread.
Final Pick
Memphis Grizzlies -1 (-108)
