Mike Muscala Points Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (+104/-135).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Mike Muscala has sunk 66.7% of his shots from behind the three-point arc over the last 5 games, 32.8% more than he's converted from three overall this season.
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).
This year, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 4.1 foul shots per game (22nd-highest in the NBA) vs. the LA Clippers, easily managing to get to the free-throw line.
Favors Under
In terms of offense, the Pistons's unimpressive 113.3 points per game ranks 8th-weakest in the league this year.
The matchup against Los Angeles is a hard one for threes; when the LA Clippers are playing at home, the other team's starting PFs have averaged the 15th-least threes per game in the league this year (0.9).
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).
In contrast to last season's 74.8% rate, Mike Muscala's foul-shot proficiency has declined this season to 66.7%.
