Premium Pick

Slumping Detroit is on a 1-5 SU/ATS run and winds up a four-game road trip tonight. They also had to play yesterday, getting blown out at Milwaukee (121-98). They're also short on depth with reserves Stanley Johnson and Zaza Pachulia (leg) sidelined. Detroit is #24 in the NBA in scoring, last in shooting (.432), #25 in free throws, and #29 in three-point shooting, while the defense is #22 in field goal shooting allowed. The Pistons are 5-13 on the road against a team with a winning home record. Memphis is rested, playing its third home game in the last four contests. The Grizzlies are second in the league defensively in points allowed and 15-5-1 ATS at home versus a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Grizzlies have beaten the Pistons in 14 of the past 17 meetings, including 130-117 when they last met. Memphis is also 77-51 ATS at home against teams that shoot 33% or less from beyond the arc. Play Memphis.
