Final Say
The Grizzlies just can’t be stopped right now winning seven of their last 10 games, while going 7-3 ATS during that span. They have also been in good form lately winning their last three games by double-digits. When they play on the road they have been pretty special going 16-4 ATS in their last 20 road games. As for the Pistons, they continue playing dreadful basketball losing nine of their last 10 games, and they haven’t fared well versus teams with over a .600 winning percentage going 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine instances. You’d think a little rest would help, but they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games on one days rest. As far as when they two squads meet, the Grizzlies have dominated going 11-2 ATS in their last 13 meetings with the Pistons, while going 19-7 ATS in their last 26 meetings in Detroit. The Pistons are also a dreadful 1-6 ATS in their last seven games versus a Southwest Divisional opponent. Detroit has lost by double-digits, or almost by double-digits in their last five games, so it’s hard to see them playing with any momentum tonight against this solid Grizzlies squad. Lay the double-digit points and back Memphis on the road tonight.
Pick: Memphis Grizzlies -11
