Blake Griffin on track to make Pistons' debut on Thursday
Detroit Pistons power forward Blake Griffin is set to make his team debut on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
According to Sports Illustrated's Jake Fischer, Monday's trade is expected to be finalized by 11:00 p.m. Wednesday. Physicals are being completed and Griffin is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday. Anthony Tolliver will make the move back to the bench. Meanwhile, coach Stan Van Gundy has said that he'd like to stagger Griffin and Andre Drummond's minutes to have "at least one of them out there on the floor."
For his team debut, we like Griffin to play 35 minutes and put up 40.6 FanDuel points at home against the Grizzlies.
