Grizzlies Look To Keep Rolling
The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Detroit Pistons at FedEx Forum on Friday evening.

The Grizzlies (26-50) are coming off back-to-back wins and look to keep rolling as they kick off a three-game home stand with the chance to build on their, 8-28, home record. They continue to manage injury trouble, as Santi Aldama (foot), Desmond Bane (back), John Konchar (heel) and Vince Williams (knee) are listed as questionable for action, while Marcus Smart (finger) remains out. On the other hand, GG Jackson continues to play well, averaging 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists over the last five games. Jaren Jackson averages 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. Luke Kennard averages 11.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists, while Scotty Pippen is averaging 10.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Meanwhile, the Pistons (13-63) have dropped two in a row and hope to get back on track as they face the second game of a four-game road trip with the opportunity to improve on their, 6-31, road record. Cade Cunningham (knee) missed the last game and is listed as questionable for action. Simone Fontecchio has been out since March 18, and is also listed as questionable for Friday. Jaden Ivey averages 15.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Jalen Duren averages 13.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists, while Marcus Sasser is averaging 7.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Malachi Flynn is coming off an astounding 50-point display in the last game, and as a result should continue to see more opportunity off the bench.
