The Grizzlies come into Detroit tonight as losers of three of their last four road games, and yet they are the favorite. The Pistons have lost 10 straight, but seven of those 10 losses came on the road. This appears to be as good a spot as any for Detroit to put an end to this slump.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Pistons really need to stop the bleeding here and avoid an 11th straight loss, and this is a very winnable game at home against the Grizzlies who have failed to cover in five of their last seven on the road.

2. Fatigue - This isn't just the Grizzlies second game in as many nights, it's also their third game in four nights. The Pistons haven't played since Saturday, and they've covered the spread in nine of their last 13 games when playing on two days rest.

3. X-Factor - The Grizzlies have not been a good bet when playing inferior opposition, failing to cover in eight straight versus teams with a losing record.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Pistons (10*)
