Key Factors
Favors Over
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and create additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Detroit Pistons grade out 3rd-best in in the league with 13.3 offensive boards per game this year.
The matchup against Cleveland may be a favorable one for getting to the foul line; opposing starting SFs have attempted a whopping 4.4 foul shots per game over the last 20 games when the Cavaliers are on the road (2nd-most in the league).
Favors Under
In regard to treys, the Pistons's unimpressive 11.1 successful threes per game settles in as the 3rd-fewest in the league this year.
This year, the opposition's starting SFs have averaged 3.9 three attempts per game (3rd-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Cavaliers, resulting in a tough matchup.
The Detroit Pistons will likely suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from being pitted against the 4th-least up-tempo pace team in the league over the last 5 games (the Cleveland Cavaliers).
