As it relates to treys, the Thunder's outstanding 40.2% rate of drained threes without the home court advantage ranks most in the league this year.The matchup against the Pistons is a favorable one for 3-point attempts; the other team's starting PGs have tallied the 21st-most three attempts per game in the NBA this year (6.2).The 9th-most up-tempo pace offense in the NBA this year has been the Thunder.The Detroit Pistons have played at the 5th-most up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 5 games in their home stadium, which should raise possessions for the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Pistons have allowed the 4th-least offensive rebounds per game (9.9) in the league to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).
