Among all players in the league, Aaron Nesmith measures in the 99th percentile for personal fouls, tallying a whopping 3.4 fouls per game this year.This year when they are the visiting squad, the opposition's starting SFs have tallied 1.3 3-pointers per game (10th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the New York Knicks, designating this as a challenging matchup.The New York Knicks have played at the most lethargic tempo in the league with the home court advantage this year, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Pacers.The Indiana Pacers rank as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Aaron Nesmith will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road usually decreases player performance for all stats.
