Andrew Nembhard has been called for 2.4 personal fouls per game this year, making him one of the most foul-prone players in the NBA (82nd percentile).The matchup vs. the Rockets is a difficult one; they have allowed the least points per game in the league to the opposition's starting SGs over the last 20 games (12.6).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Indiana Pacers grade out 1stworst in in the league while playing at home with just 8.2 offensive boards per game over the last 10 games.Over the last 5 games when they are at home, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 1.0 free throws per game (4th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Houston Rockets, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.
