Game Preview
The Grizzlies have been 3-7 in the past 10 games, and their form is on the decline at the worst possible moment of the year. Plus, they’ve fired the guy who made them a powerhouse in the league, Taylor Jenkins.
Beating the Heat in Miami is a good sign. It was 110-108 for the Grizzlies. Ja Morant hit a 12-foot jumper for a buzzer-beater that gave his team a win. Morant had 30 points in this one.
The Pistons played in Canada this Friday night, and this game will be their second in the past 24 hours. Isaiah Stewart is coming back following his suspension, which should give the Pistons some toughness under the rim.
They have been solid at home this season, with a record of 21-16. It’s good for them that the 7th-placed Orlando Magic are five games behind, meaning that the Pistons are more or less safe in the playoff zone.
Grizzlies vs. Pistons Head to Head
