Out of all players in the NBA, Aaron Nesmith comes in at the 99th percentile for personal fouls, tallying a whopping 3.3 fouls per game this year.This year, the opposition's starting SFs have shot 25.5% on 3-pointers (2nd-worst in the NBA) against the Thunder, creating a difficult matchup.The Indiana Pacers rank as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, opposing starting SFs have attempted 1.4 free throws per game (4th-lowest in the league) vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder, facing an uphill battle to draw fouls.Aaron Nesmith ought to see a decline in productivity across the board in light of playing away from home in this contest.
