The matchup vs. the Heat is a positive one; they have given up the 29th-most points per game in the NBA to opposing starting SFs this year (17.6).The Detroit Pistons check in as the 10th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, the other team has collected 9.3 offensive rebounds per game (2nd-fewest in the league) against the Miami Heat (lessening possessions that could otherwise generate added chances for offense).This year when they have the home court advantage, the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted 3.7 foul shots per game (27th-most in the league) against the Miami Heat, making it fairly effortless to get to the charity stripe.
