This game will mark the second-to-last home fixture for the Pistons this season and the first of two encounters with the Grizzlies this week.

In their initial matchup this season on December 6th, the Pistons fell short to the Grizzlies, with Memphis clinching a 116-102 victory. Desmond Bane of Memphis led the charge, delivering a career-high 49 points, which contributed to the Pistons’ 18th consecutive loss at the time.

Memphis will be without Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, Derrick Rose, Yuta Watanabe, Zaire Williams, Vince Williams Jr., and Desmond Bane, all sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Santi Aldama is questionable due to illness.
As for Detroit, they’ll miss the contributions of Simone Fontecchio, Quentin Grimes, Isaiah Stewart, rookie Ausar Thompson, and Stanley Umude, all sidelined. Cade Cunningham is managing a left knee injury, and Marcus Smart is battling an upper respiratory illness, both listed as questionable for the upcoming game.
