The Memphis Grizzlies (24-50) are taking on the Detroit Pistons (13-61). Both sides are freaking flyers on the injury report. However, when you consider who’s available, it appears that one team has something of an edge, if you can even call it that tonight.
But do you have concerns in regards to both of these teams regardless?

Updates:
Detroit Pistons
Player | Injury | Status |
Cade Cunningham | Knee | GTD |

Quentin Grimes | Knee | OFS |
Marcus Sasser | Illness | GTD |

The Detroit Pistons are trying to at least look respectable as the season is coming to an end. Yes, most realize that they would likely lose. But a win against the Memphis Grizzlies could help to show that at least some improvement is going on. However, a lot will depend on if Cunningham is able to go or not.
Updates:
Aldama Proving Vital For Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama is questionable with an illness for the Memphis Grizzlies. But the frontcourt player is proving to be a force down low. In four out of his last five games, he’s had nine or more rebounds. Furthermore, he scored 14 or more points in three out of the last five games. Therefore, on a team that is already void of talent, he’s someone that the Grizzlies need when facing the Detroit Pistons tonight. Additionally, he’s been able to be a more consistent scoring contributor as the season has continued.
Over the last eight games, he’s averaging 12.6 points per game as well as 7.4 rebounds. In a year that has not had too much go right, Aldama is something of an exception. It’s hard to evaluate this season at this point. But going forward, Adama is showing that he belongs in the long-term plans of the Memphis Grizzlies.
