The Detroit Pistons return to Little Caesars Arena on Friday night to host the Memphis Grizzlies in a regular-season game. The Eastern Conference’s top seed will go up against a struggling, depleted Memphis squad. Detroit looks to continue its historic season, while the Grizzlies are searching for any momentum to snap a six-game losing streak.
Detroit enters the game with an impressive 47–18 record, fresh off a 131–109 victory over the 76ers. They are led by Cade Cunningham, who is averaging nearly 12 assists per game in March. The Pistons‘ depth and interior dominance have allowed them to pull away from teams early.
The Grizzlies arrive in Detroit with a 23–42 record, sitting 13th in the West. Memphis has been plagued by injuries to its core rotation, including the season-ending loss of rookie Zach Edey and the continued absence of Ja Morant. Due to the losses, young players like GG Jackson II and Ty Jerome have seen bigger roles.
While it might not be one of the most charming matchups of the night, some teams would be hoping for the Grizzlies to spoil the party for Detroit. Full venue, time, and broadcast details are listed below.

Head to Head
The Detroit Pistons hold a 1–0 lead in the 2025–26 season series after a 114–106 road victory in Memphis back in November. Historically, the Grizzlies lead the all-time regular-season series 32–28, having won nine straight matchups against Detroit prior to this season.
Prediction for Grizzlies vs. Pistons
The -15.5 spread shows the massive talent gap created by Memphis’ injury list. The Grizzlies simply don’t have the size to contend with Detroit’s frontcourt, especially if Jalen Duren is cleared to play. Even if the Pistons decide to rest veterans on the second night of a back-to-back, their bench depth, including Marcus Sasser and Duncan Robinson, should be more than enough to handle a Memphis squad that is currently 29th in offensive efficiency over their last five games.
Score Prediction: Pistons 122 – Grizzlies 102
