The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past four-plus seasons. The model enters Week 8 of the 2022-23 NBA season on a stunning 111-70 roll on all top-rated NBA picks that dates back to last season, returning more than $3,000. Anyone following it has seen huge returns.
Now, the model has set its sights on Grizzlies vs. Pistons. You can head to SportsLine to see its picks. Here are several NBA betting lines for Pistons vs. Grizzlies:
Memphis made easy work of the Oklahoma City Thunder and carried off a 123-102 win on Wednesday. Memphis’ point guard Ja Morant posted a triple-double on 26 points, 13 boards, and 11 assists. It was Morant’s second triple-double in his last five starts and he’s now averaging 28.3 points, 7.6 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game this season.
Dillon Brooks also had 24 points in the victory, and the Grizzlies also got 17 points from Brandon Clarke and 14 points from Santi Aldama off the bench. In the 122-112 win over the Pistons last week, Memphis had all five starters reach double-figures and Morant finished with 33 points and 10 assists. Desmond Bane (toe) is out for Memphis, while Steven Adams (toe) is questionable.
Meanwhile, the Pistons were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 104-98 to the New Orleans Pelicans. Detroit’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of forward Saddiq Bey, who shot 5-for-10 from downtown and finished with 25 points, and point guard Killian Hayes, who dropped a double-double on 17 points and 12 assists along with six rebounds.
Cade Cunningham remains out with a shin injury and there is currently no timetable for the former No. 1 pick’s return. So having Hayes performing well while running the offense remains critical for the Pistons. Hayes is averaging 11.9 points and 6.6 assists per game since entering the starting lineup while shooting 40.7% from the 3-point line and turning the ball over just 1.7 times per contest.
The model has simulated Grizzlies vs. Pistons 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Under and it’s also generated a point-spread pick that is hitting in well over 60% of simulations. You can only see the pick at SportsLine.
