Fails again the Pistons’ offense?

The Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies meet on 11/02/2022 starting at 01:00. The hosts enter the game bottom of the Eastern Conference standings and with a meagre haul of one win from their past ten games.

Detroit Pistons – statistics & current form

The Pistons received the first pick in the last draft, but it has done little to change the franchise’s continued poor form. Moreover, they now have to fear for the first pick in the person of Cade Cunningham.

The rookie missed the last four games and without him the home side’s performance is even weaker.

A home advantage is also becoming less and less apparent, as five of the last six games at Little Caesars Arena have ended in defeat and the home rating is now only second to last in the East, ahead of Orlando.

Memphis Grizzlies – Statistics & current form

The Grizzlies were victorious against the Clippers last time out and once again owed the win to a strong performance by Ja Morant. The newcomer to the upcoming All-Star Game scored 30 points and is even stronger in his third season in the NBA than he was in the last two years.

For example, he increased his scoring value by more than seven points. However, the entire team of Head Coach Taylor Jenkins can be said to be in a very stable condition.

This applies, among other things, to the defensive work: with an average of 6.4 blocks, the Grizzlies are in first place in this ranking in a league-wide comparison. A ranking that is equally held by the basketball players in the rating for the most rebounds per game.

Detroit Pistons – Memphis Grizzlies Tip

The Pistons score only 102.8 points on 100 possessions. Only Oklahoma undercuts this value and without Cade Cunningham, who is probably injured again, there are again fewer points in favour of the hosts.

For the clash between the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies, betting on less than 107.5 points by the basketballers from Motown is a good idea. In the past three games, the home side has averaged just 94.6 points and Memphis is also a defensively strong opponent.

The Grizzlies rank seventh in that rating and no team in the National Basketball Association has more rebounds and blocks per game! The only drubbing so far this season also supports the prediction, as the hosts failed to score more than 88 points in the encounter.
