Key Factors
Favors Over
Amen Thompson has tallied 3.6 assists per game over the last 5 games, 1.4 higher than he's tallied over the course of the year.
The Houston Rockets have played at the 9th-speediest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games on the road.
Offensive rebounds continue possession and result in additional chances for scoring and assists, and the Rockets grade out 3rdbest in in the league with 12.1 offensive rebounds per game over the last 10 games.
Over the last 10 games when they are the visiting squad, opposing squads have snagged 8.4 offensive boards per game (fewest in the NBA) against the Nets (diminishing possessions that could otherwise create further chances for offense).
Favors Under
The Rockets will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 2nd-most sluggish tempo home team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Brooklyn Nets).
Amen Thompson will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city tends to worsen player production across the board.
