The Pistons come into today's game ranked just 29th in scoring at 110.5 points per contest. Across their last five games, the unit is averaging 107 points per game. A key to the Pistons' offensive struggles is their inability to consistently knock down three-pointers. So far, Detroit is 18th in three-point attempts and 23rd in percentage at 35.1%. The team's scoring numbers are also hampered by a below-average pace of play. For the season, the Pistons are just 99.1 in possessions per game.
