The Pistons have played at the 4th-fastest tempo in the NBA over the last 10 games at home.The Kings have played at the 10th-most up-tempo pace in the league this year, which should lead to more opportunities for the Pistons.The Pistons check in as the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).This year, their opposition has secured 9.3 offensive rebounds per game (fewest in the league) against the Kings (reducing possessions that could otherwise produce more chances for offense).Ausar Thompson will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing with the home court advantage generally increases player performance in all stat categories.
