Key Factors

Favors Over

Gordon Hayward has sunk 39.6% of his 3-point shots this year, putting him in the 91st percentile out of all players in the NBA.
Gordon Hayward has tallied 30.4 minutes per game while playing at home this year, ranking in the 80th percentile -- some of the highest playing time of any player in the league.
The Pistons have played at the 8th-most up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should boost plays for the Hornets.
The Charlotte Hornets check in as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games while on their home court (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).
While playing on the road, the Pistons have allowed the 7th-least offensive rebounds per game (9.7) in the league to opposing clubs this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

The matchup vs. Detroit is a tough one; when the Pistons are on the road, they have allowed the 15th-least points per game in the NBA to the opposing team's starting SFs this year (13.6).
The Charlotte Hornets have played at the 10th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games while on their home court.
As a team, the Charlotte Hornets have been quite unsuccesful at getting to the free throw line recently: 4th-worst in the NBA over the last 5 games when playing at home, drawing a mere 17.4 foul shots per game.
The matchup against the Pistons may be a hard one for getting to the foul line; the other team's starting SFs have attempted a lowly 1.9 free throws per game over the last 20 games (14th-least in the NBA).
