The Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies meet Thursday in NBA action at the FedExForum. The Detroit Pistons need a win after losing five of their last seven games. The Memphis Grizzlies look to build on their six-game winning streak.

The Detroit Pistons are averaging 100.7 points on 41.2 percent shooting and allowing 110.2 points on 47.3 percent shooting. Jerami Grant is averaging 20.1 points and 4.8 rebounds, while Cade Cunningham is averaging 15.3 points and 5.2 assists. Saddiq Bey is the third double-digit scorer and Kelly Olynyk is grabbing 5.3 rebounds. The Detroit Pistons are shooting 31 percent from beyond the arc and 78.6 percent from the free throw line. The Detroit Pistons are allowing 36.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.1 rebounds per game.

The Memphis Grizzlies are averaging 111.3 points on 45.3 percent shooting and allowing 108.1 points on 45.5 percent shooting. Ja Morant is averaging 25.1 points and 6.7 assists, while Dillon Brooks is averaging 19.3 points and 3.4 rebounds. Desmond Bane is the third double-digit scorer and Jaren Jackson Jr. is dishing 1.1 assists. The Memphis Grizzlies are shooting 34.5 percent from beyond the arc and 75.2 percent from the free throw line. The Memphis Grizzlies are allowing 36.8 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 47.7 rebounds per game.

The Pistons are 5–1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games. The Grizzlies are 4–1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games and 5–1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 4–0–1 in Pistons last 5 Thursday games. The under is 4–0 in Grizzlies last 4 overall. The Pistons are 1–4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

The Detroit Pistons continue to be a mess across the board, they’re losing on the road by an average of 11.4 points, and they’re on the end of a back to back. The Memphis Grizzlies have won six straight games, they’re as healthy as they’ve been in a while, and they’ve covered both games this season where they’ve been double-digit favorites. I can’t get behind the Pistons here. Big line, but it’s Grizzlies or pass.https://www.king108.com/match/timing/gold
