The Memphis Grizzlies (24-50) travel to the Detroit Pistons (13-61). This is a game in which both sides are in trouble in terms of injuries. However, it’s important to note that the Grizzlies won the first matchup in December by 14 points. But very little has gone right for either ball club since then.
Regardless, could you see the Grizzlies sneaking a win against the Pistons tonight?

Game Prediction
This game will depend on the status of Cunningham. While he has often been on injury reports, it does not seem optimistic that he will be able to play tonight. If he plays, then you have to, of course, consider the Detroit Pistons, so this is something to monitor up until closer to tip-off. But until hearing otherwise, this seems like a good game for the Memphis Grizzlies to cover.
Final Pick
Memphis Grizzlies +2
