[7:40 PM] Grizzlies @ Pistons

Who will WIN this matchup?

Memphis Grizzlies (18-11)

@ Detroit Pistons (14-16)

 

• The line for this game is Pistons by 6 points.

• The Detroit Pistons are staggering with three consecutive defeats, but coach Stan Van Gundy delivered the biggest beating with his own verbal assault. The feisty coach of the Pistons will be looking for a better effort against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday after his team absorbed a dismal 113-82 loss to Chicago two days earlier.

• Small forward Chandler Parsons is expected back on the court after missing more than a month due to an injury to his left knee. The 28-year-old has played in just six games this season – averaging 7.7 points – due to injuries and will be on a minutes restriction upon his return.

• Point guard Reggie Jackson certainly was one of the targets of Van Gundy’s complaints as he attempted just five shots while recording seven points and three assists against the Bulls. The small amount of attempts was glaring after Jackson put up 15 or more shots in four of his previous five games.

• The Grizzlies have won 12 of the last 13 meetings.

• Memphis PG Mike Conley is just 11-of-39 shooting in three games since returning from a back injury.

• Detroit PF Marcus Morris is averaging 5.7 points on 7-of-24 shooting during the losing streak.
