Memphis (25-16) at Detroit (35-5) 8:00 pm EST

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- The Detroit Pistons have dominated most teams over the last few years. The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the exceptions to the rule.

Shooting for their ninth straight victory, the Pistons take on the Grizzlies on Friday in an interconference matchup.

Memphis swept the season series from Detroit last season and took the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions to double overtime on December 19 before Chauncey Billups' jumper with under one second remaining provided the difference in Detroit's 106-104 win.

Detroit continued its most-recent winning streak in a 106-102 overtime triumph over Milwaukee behind another stellar performance from Billups, who scored all 23 of his points after halftime.

Richard Hamilton poured in a team-high 35 points and Rasheed Wallace contributed 20 as the Pistons improved to 35-5, marking the fourth-best 40-game start in league history.

Memphis has won two of its last three games following an impressive 107-87 victory against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Pau Gasol snapped out of an offensive slump with 30 points and eight rebounds and Eddie Jones chipped in 22 for the Grizzlies, who shot over 50 percent (39-of-77), including a crisp 12-of-22 from the arc.
