The Pistons have played at the 5th-fastest tempo in the league over the last 10 games on the road, which should lead to increased opportunities for the Cleveland Cavaliers.Offensive rebounds preserve possession and lead to extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Cavaliers rank 5thbest in in the league with 11.5 offensive boards per game over the last 20 games.The Detroit Pistons have given up the 4th-least offensive rebounds per game (10.0) in the league to opposing clubs this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Georges Niang is expected to see a spike in productivity in all stat categories as a result of holding the home court advantage in this matchup.
