Out of all players in the league, Aaron Nesmith measures in the 98th percentile for personal fouls, putting up a colossal 3.4 fouls per game this year.This year when they are away from home, opposing starting SFs have shot 26.1% on threes (14th-weakest in the NBA) against the Rockets, marking this as a hard matchup.The Indiana Pacers check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, the other team has snagged 13.8 offensive boards per game (most in the league) vs. the Rockets (retaining possessions that can generate bonus chances for offense).Aaron Nesmith should suffer a drop-off in productivity in all facets of the game due to being on the road in this game.
