Memphis Grizzlies vs Detroit Pistons prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies remain a mess due to a struggling offense and a million guys on the injury list. However, in what world are the Pistons favorites? The Detroit Pistons haven’t won a game in over a month, and they’re a below average team at both ends of the floor. Until proven otherwise, the Pistons are the worst team in the NBA. I’m not laying points with the Pistons. It’s that simple. Give me the Grizzlies.
