Isaiah Livers has put up 0.7 assists per game away from home this year, ranking in the 25th percentile -- near the bottom of the league 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).Isaiah Livers will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage usually reduces player production for all stats.
