What you need to know about the Pistons

Detroit has now dropped nine of its last 10 games, including each of its last five. The latest loss came in a 116-86 setback at Dallas on Tuesday night. Detroit shot just 37.9 percent from the floor, connecting on 5 of 30 from beyond the 3-point arc. 

Star guard Cade Cunningham missed his fourth straight game due to a right hip pointer. Cunningham, who averages 15.8 points and 5.2 assists per game, is listed as questionable for Thursday's game. Power forward Jerami Grant leads the Pistons with 19.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest, though his status will need to be monitored leading up to the NBA trade deadline. 

What you need to know about the Grizzlies

Memphis is one of the hottest teams in the NBA, having won six of its last seven games. The Grizzlies are riding a three-game winning streak following their 135-109 win over the Clippers on Tuesday, completing the season sweep in the process. They have not scored fewer than 115 points over their past seven games. 

Star guard Ja Morant poured in 30 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out five assists in 26 minutes of action. Morant has scored at least 30 points in nine of his last 10 games, which has bumped his season average up to 26.5. The Grizzlies have covered the spread in 16 of their last 20 road games.
