The Detroit Pistons have been the 2nd-lowest scoring offense in the league over the last 25 games.This year, the opposition's starting PFs have averaged 14.5 points per game (14th-lowest in the NBA) against the Boston Celtics, designating this as a challenging matchup for offensive efficiency.The Pistons will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions in this game from competing against the 3rd-most lethargic pace offense in the league over the last 20 games (the Boston Celtics).Over the last 5 games, the other team has snagged 12.4 offensive rebounds per game (4th-most in the league) against the Boston Celtics (lengthening possessions that can bring about more opportunities for offense).Kevin Knox II figures to suffer a reduction in efficiency across the board in light of being on the road in this game.
