Grizzlies vs Pistons prediction
The Pistons are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but that doesn’t mean much to me. Neither the Grizzlies nor Pistons are good, and neither side has anything to play for at this stage. If anything, the Grizzlies have won 5 straight games against the Pistons, which includes a 14 point win back in December. Also, 16 of the Grizzlies 24 wins this season have come on the road. The Pistons have lost 8 of their last 9 games, so home or not, I’m not laying points with Detroit. Give me the road dog if forced to pick.
