This year when they are playing at home, opposing starting PFs have tallied 11.8 shot attempts per game (6th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Hornets, labeling this as a challenging matchup.The rate of field goals converted against Mark Williams has been remarkably low (51.5%) when defending opposing starting Cs this year (13th percentile).The most lethargic pace home team in the league this year has been the Heat.The Hornets have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the NBA over the last 25 games, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Miami Heat.The Miami Heat rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league on their home court this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).
