Out of all players in the NBA, Aaron Nesmith ranks in the 92nd percentile for personal fouls, registering a whopping 3.1 fouls per game this year.This year when they are at home, opposing teams have averaged 38.1% on 3-pointers (4th-best in the NBA) vs. the Heat, making this a favorable matchup.The Miami Heat have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 10 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Pacers.The Pacers check in as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).In contrast to last year's 78.0% rate, Aaron Nesmith's free-throw prowess has decreased this year to 45.0%.
