Among all players in the NBA, Aaron Nesmith registers in the 93rd percentile for personal fouls, putting up a monstrous 2.9 fouls per game while on his home court this year.The matchup against Atlanta is a challenging one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; when the Atlanta Hawks are the visiting squad, the other team's starting SFs have averaged the 12th-least 3-point attempts per game in the NBA this year (3.7).The Indiana Pacers check in as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league while at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 25 games, their opposition has grabbed 11.6 offensive boards per game (3rd-most in the league) vs. the Atlanta Hawks (maintaining possessions that can lead to bonus chances for offense).
