Mike Muscala Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (-230/+145).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Pistons have been the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
Over the last 10 games when they are on the road, the other team has snagged 8.6 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-fewest in the league) against the LA Clippers (reducing possessions that could otherwise produce further opportunities for offense).
Favors Under
The 8th-most sluggish pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Pistons.
The Pistons are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 6th-slowest pace team in the NBA this year (the Clippers).
Mike Muscala will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage usually decreases player performance in all stat categories.
