Memphis Grizzlies Preview

The Grizzlies are coming off a 116-109 defeat to the Phoenix Suns in their most recent game. This was a much better performance compared to four games ago when these two met and the Suns won by 21 points. Jaren Jackson Jr. had 37 points, but that was still not enough to win the game.

Desmond Bane is leading the offense with 23.8 points per game and is shooting 45.3 percent from the field. He also leads in assists, at 5.3 each game, which shows how crucial he is to their offense. He has been a key component to their consistency on the floor.

The Grizzlies are scoring an average of 105.9 points per game, placing them 29th in the league. Although their offensive efficiency has slightly improved to 106.2, they still face significant challenges with each opportunity on offense.

Surprisingly, their defense ranks 11th, permitting opponents to score 111.9 points per game. They have a defensive efficiency rating of 112.2, which has improved to 10th in the league. This means they are making adjustments on the defensive end to keep games within reach.

The Pistons have lost their last 17 games since the start of the season. In fact, they have not won a game since October. Their most recent defeat was a 110-101 showing against the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Cade Cunningham adding 23 points to the mix.

Cunningham leads the team in points (22.4) and assists (7.3) each game. He is also shooting 41.6 percent from the floor. A big game from him could be the difference in winning or losing.

The Pistons are averaging 109.2 points each game, which ranks them 27th in the league. Their efficiency on offense ranks 27th among other teams in the league, with a rating of 109.1. They will have to be perfect offensively to have a shot at winning.
