Cory Joseph has posted 1.5 rebounds per game away from his home court this year, placing him in the 19th percentile -- among the league's worst by this standard.The Detroit Pistons have played at the 6th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games.The Rockets have played at the 6th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games in their home stadium, which should lead to fewer plays for the Pistons.While at home, the Rockets have allowed the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (11.5) in the league to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide added chances for scoring and assists).Cory Joseph will not enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling usually decreases stat production in all stat categories.
