In contrast to last season's 33.3% mark, Andrew Nembhard's three-point performance has decreased this season to 3.6%.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).Andrew Nembhard will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling tends to lower stat production for all stats.
