The Memphis Grizzlies (45-32) visit the Detroit Pistons (42-34) on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at the Little Caesars Arena.

In their first matchup last November 27, 2024, the Grizzlies handily defeated the Pistons, 131-111. The Pistons did sustain a 20-point loss, but things have changed for them since then. Fresh off a 117-105 win over the Toronto Raptors, the Pistons have now clinched the playoffs for the first time since 2019.

However, Pistons All-Star Cade Cunningham is still listed as questionable against the Grizzlies. He has missed the last six games due to a calf injury. The Pistons have lost two of their last three games, with them missing Cunningham's all-around production of 25.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 9.2 assists.

As they're already through to the playoffs, the Pistons won't rush Cunningham back if he's not 100% ready. We might not see Cunningham in the Grizzlies game, especially since it's the second leg of a back-to-back schedule.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are coming off a thrilling 110-108 win over the Miami Heat, a game in which we saw Ja Morant hit a game-winning buzzerbeater. That much-needed victory snapped the Grizzlies' four-game losing streak. They need all the wins they could get, as they don't want to slide down to the Play-In positions in the West.

Detroit Pistons - Memphis Grizzlies Key Points

  1. In their first matchup this season, the Grizzlies defeated the Pistons, 131-111.
  2. The Pistons could miss injured star Cade Cunningham for the seventh straight game.
  3. The Grizzlies own the sixth-best offensive rating (117.8) in the league.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Pistons could miss All-Star guard Cade Cunningham for the seventh consecutive game. Cunningham, the team's top scorer and playmaker, is nursing a calf injury. With the Pistons already booked for the playoffs, it makes no sense for them to rush Cunningham back.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are fighting not to slide down to the play-in spots. This is a game that the Grizzlies should win. Our prediction for the Detroit Pistons vs Memphis Grizzlies match is: Grizzlies (-1.5) cover the spread.
