Cameron Johnson has averaged a terrific 1.4 offensive boards per game this year, a big improvement over his 0.8 offensive boards per game last year.The Nets will likely see an increase in opportunities in this contest from competing against the 4th-quickest pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Pistons).Offensive rebounds continue possession and create added chances for scoring and assists, and the Brooklyn Nets grade out 1stbest in in the league with 13.5 offensive boards per game over the last 20 games.The Pistons have allowed the 5th-least offensive rebounds per game (10.3) in the league to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
