The Detroit Pistons are facing some really notable issues with their offence and are getting testified with their performance in the recent games. It is hard to believe that this is the same team that went 5-1 in their previous homestand.

The Pistons are shooting only 42.9 percent from the field which is the worst out of the 30 teams in the NBA. They lack the creativity and point-scoring ability when required.

In December, they have played 4 games and have a 38.8 percent field-goal conversion. They have a drooping low 25.6 percent from the 3-pointer line.

Their reliability on Griffin is costing them too much. Griffin has a 29.8 usage percentage this season. He has been playing at All-Star potential this season and is the scoring leader on the team with 25.2 points per game.

The biggest concern the Pistons are facing now is the injury trouble. Their two guards Ish Smith and Stanley Johnson are out with injury. They have contributed a lot in Detroit's recent wins coming off the bench.
