Detroit Pistons vs Memphis Grizzlies: Current situation
Life without Cade Cunningham has been difficult for the Pistons who are coming off back-to-back losses to Minnesota and Oklahoma City. After last night’s Bucks win at Philadelphia they’ve now fallen down to the 6th seed which would see them play the Knicks in the first round. There is still hope that the Pistons can improve in the standings with just 6 games remaining.
Memphis got a much needed win on Thursday night in Miami to remain 6th in the West standings. We are entering the critical stretch of the season with just 5 games remaining, the Grizzlies need to continue improving in order to make the postseason without having to play the play-in tournament. They’ve won just 3 of 10 games, however with their new head coach finally recording his first win things are trending in the right direction.
Detroit Pistons Stats & Form
With no Cunningham in the line-up it wasn’t realistic to expect the Pistons to go into Oklahoma City and win the game. In the end they failed to cover as 15-point underdogs, losing 119-103. The offense could just never get going without their primary ball handler, in the end they shot just 40% from the field and 30% from three with the only bright spot being Tim Hardaway Jr. who ended the game with 5 threes made.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
Ja Morant took it upon himself to end the Grizzlies losing streak and he fully delivered. Ja ended the game with 30 points, but more importantly he buried the Miami Heat with a 12-foot jumper as time expired to lift his team to a win. Memphis has the 11th easiest schedule left over the last 5 games, they are in a solid position to finish 6th in the Western Conference.

Betting tip and prediction: Detroit Pistons vs Memphis Grizzlies (05.04.2025)
The outcome of this game will largely depend on whether or not the Pistons get Cade Cunningham back from injury. With the oddsmakers having Detroit as a 4.5-point favorite here that is a clear indicator they too are expecting him back, which shifts the odds in their favor significantly. Memphis has been going through a lot lately after the firing of their coach with just 9 games remaining. However, things appear to be trending in the right direction as they just got their first win under their new head coach. Ja Morant is thriving in the new offense, he is averaging 32 points per game on 57% shooting from the field in his last 4 outings. In his last visit to Detroit he had a monster 33 points and 10 assists, he will certainly be the main threat for the Pistons on the defensive end here. Memphis would be wise to come up with a gameplan to shoot as many threes as possible here as that’s one area the Pistons have struggled to defend. Opponents are making 36.4% of threes against them in games this season, that ranks them only 21st in the NBA. Over their last 3 games the Pistons are also giving up 62 rebounds per game which is an increase of 10.8 per game compared to their regular season average. For comparison the worst rebounding team in the NBA Washington gives up 56.8 per game. Guys like Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. will have a field day on the inside, so we believe backing the underdog Grizzlies is the way to go here.
