Memphis has a bit of controversy on its hands

Detroit Pistons vs. Memphis Grizzlies Pick
Spread Pick for Pistons vs. Grizzlies
- Detroit Pistons (5 units)
Although Memphis will have star guard Ja Morant back on the court for Monday's game with Detroit, his suspension will create an underlying conflict between him and the Memphis coaching staff. One big difference in this matchup is on the defensive end, as the Detroit Pistons allow an average of just 113.5 points (9th) per game, while Memphis is allowing 122.0 (25th) per game. Detroit’s Cade Cunningham has become the court general for the Pistons with team highs in scoring (22.0 ppg) and assists (9.8 apg), and it will be tough for the Memphis guards to defend. Memphis is without Brandon Clarke, Zach Edey, and Ty Jerome, who all made big contributions last season, Clarke and Edey with Memphis, and Jerome with Cleveland. Memphis is 1-4 ATS in its last five games and 1-4 ATS in its last five games on the road.
Over/Under Pick for Pistons vs. Grizzlies
- Under ( units)
The Detroit Pistons rely on a very tough defense that is 9th in points allowed and will be at home, where they can shut down the Memphis offense. The total has finished under in six of the last seven games that Memphis has played against a team from the Eastern Conference. Memphis will be playing its second game in as many nights after playing on the road Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Memphis is likely to play at a slower pace after having played on the road Sunday.
