Andrew Nembhard has averaged 2.4 personal fouls per game since the start of last season, placing him among the highest-fouling players in the NBA (82nd percentile).The Indiana Pacers have been the 6th-least efficient 3-point shooting team in the league on the road this year.The Hornets have played at the 10th-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 10 games at home, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Pacers.While on their home court, the Hornets have allowed the most offensive rebounds per game (11.9) in the league to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Charlotte may be a difficult one for drawing fouls; opposing starting PGs have attempted just 2.4 free throws per game over the last 20 games when the Hornets are playing at home (14th-least in the league).
