The most sluggish tempo offense in the league this year has been the Bulls.The Chicago Bulls will likely see a decline in plays today from competing against the 2nd-slowest pace visiting team in the league over the last 10 games (the Houston Rockets).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and generate further chances for scoring and assists, but the Bulls rank 9thworst in in the NBA with the home court advantage with only 9.1 offensive rebounds per game over the last 7 games.While playing away from home, the Houston Rockets have allowed the 4th-most offensive boards per game (13.2) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 25 games, opposing teams have attempted 27.9 foul shots per game (highest in the NBA) against the Rockets, easily managing to get to the foul line.
