The Detroit Pistons will host the Memphis Grizzlies at Little Caesars Arena on Monday.

The Pistons (13-61) simply wait for the season to end. With eight games left, the team is looking to avoid finishing last in the Eastern Conference standings. Achieving that goal would be huge for a Detroit team that lost almost 30 consecutive games between October and December. Entering Monday’s contest, the Pistons sit just 0.5 games behind the Washington Wizards, and a win here would tie both teams in 14th place in the standings. Every win -- and every loss -- matters for a Detroit team that is looking to pick as high as possible in the 2024 NBA Draft. However, Detroit is also looking to end the campaign with a decent run of results. After all, the team is looking to establish some kind of momentum in what might be a long rebuilding process. The Pistons have gone 7-31 at home.

Cade Cunningham (knee), Taj Gibson (hamstring) and Marcus Sasser (illness) are questionable to play Monday. Simone Fontecchio (toe) is out. Stanley Umude (ankle), Ausar Thompson (illness), Quentin Grimes (knee) and Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) are out for the season.

The Grizzlies (24-50) have fallen short of expectations this season. Sure, injuries are one of the reasons why the team has struggled so badly, with names such as Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and Brandon Clarke missing considerable time. However, the Grizzlies have been playing poorly on both ends of the court. Memphis has a team worthy of being a contender if healthy, but they will have the luxury of picking high in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft. The recent results have not been very good, either. The Grizzlies enter this game on a three-game losing run while dropping four of their last five contests. To make things even more complicated, the Grizzlies have gone 16-22 on the road this season.

John Konchar (heel) and Santi Aldama (illness) are game-time calls for Monday. Vince Williams (knee), Desmond Bane (back), Yuta Watanabe (personal) and Marcus Smart (finger) are out. Derrick Rose (groin), Ja Morant (shoulder) and Ziaire Williams (hip) are out for the season.
