Bam Adebayo has averaged 2.9 personal fouls per game while on the road this year, ranking him in the 90th percentile -- among the NBA's most foul-prone.The Miami Heat have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA this year.The Knicks have played at the most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games, which should decrease plays for the Heat.The Knicks have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (12.9) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).Bam Adebayo will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road usually lowers stat production across the board.
