The Pistons have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Lakers.The Lakers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).Dalton Knecht will not have the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling tends to decrease player performance in all facets of the game.
