Obi Toppin has played 28.4 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 4.9 more than he's played in all games this year.The Pacers have played at the most up-tempo tempo in the NBA this year.The Detroit Pistons have played at the 7th-speediest pace in the league away from their home stadium this year, which should lead to more opportunities for the Pacers.This year when they are away from home, opposing squads have snagged 9.4 offensive boards per game (5th-lowest in the NBA) against the Pistons (reducing possessions that could otherwise lead to bonus chances for offense).Obi Toppin will likely see a rise in productivity in all facets of the game due to controlling the home court advantage in this contest.
