This year when they are playing at home, opposing starting SFs have totaled 2.8 3-point attempts per game (14th-lowest in the league) vs. the Pistons, labeling this as a challenging matchup.The Nuggets have played at the 4th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA on the road this year.The Denver Nuggets have been the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Without the home court advantage, the Detroit Pistons have given up the 7th-most offensive boards per game (11.8) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).Michael Porter Jr. has sunk a mere 68.6% of his free throw attempts this season, significantly less than his 80.3 mark last season.
