Situational Spot - Memphis Grizzlies

Grizzlies -1 (-115)

Pistons playing B2B at home after clinching playoff spot (will get at least the 6th seed). They beat the Raptors on the road and travel back to Detroit. If you watched the game, Detroit was still playing short handed (Cunningham is still out and Stewart was still suspended). The game was looking like a blow-out until the Raptors went on two big runs and cut the lead down to 7. The Detroit starters played some heavy minutes:

Tim Hardaway Jr = 39 minutes, Duren and Schroder = 36 minutes, Thompson and Beasley 32 minutes. 

This is a similar spot to when Memphis travel to play the head. This is West vs East spot where I give the talent and experience edge to the Grizzlies. They have been to the playoffs several years, Jackson Jr. is a solid defender, and Ja Morant keeps hearing the media news and using it as fuel to motivate himself even more. Desmond Bane had a particularly bad shooting game against the Heat (1/9 from 3-point I believe) and I really look for him to get going on offense early. 

Just not enough juice in the tank for Pistons. I don't think theyl'l play Cunningham and risk getting him hurt, and Tobias Harris may sit another game out. I like Memphis at basically PK and I would grab it before the line moves.

Good luck lh8.

Good luck homie I’m on this too for similar reasons and hoping the pistons celebrated making the play offs ! Leaning heat also they are on fire

Same i also like and lean heavily to the Heat at home. They have been playing really well. Only thing giving me pause is the Bucks are 3-0 vs them this year. Tough matchup for them because of whoever has to guard Giannis.

Update: 

Cade Cunningham listed as PROBABLE for the game and they put up his props. He did not play in the first meeting and neither did Ja Morant. 

This is definitely important news, not sure how I feel about this.
