Aaron Nesmith has put up 3.4 defensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games, 1.1 higher than he's put up over the course of the season.The speediest pace offense in the league over the last 25 games has been the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers will likely see a rise in plays in this contest from competing against the 4th-speediest pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the New York Knicks).While on the road, the New York Knicks have given up the 3rd-least offensive boards per game (9.5) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Aaron Nesmith should see a spike in performance for all stats in light of controlling the home court advantage in this contest.
