Nicolas Batum has made an impressive 55.8% of his attempts from beyond the arc this season, quite a bit more than his 34.0 mark last season.This year when they have the home court advantage, the opposing team's starting SFs have averaged 50.0% on three-pointers (30th-best in the NBA) vs. the Detroit Pistons, branding this as a strong matchup.The Philadelphia 76ers have played at the 5th-most up-tempo tempo in the league over the last 5 games as the away team.The 76ers are expected to get a boost in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the 5th-quickest pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Pistons).The 76ers rank as the 9th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
