The Heat are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this contest from competing against the 4th-slowest pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Philadelphia 76ers).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and create added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Miami Heat rank 6thworst in in the league with a mere 9.9 offensive rebounds per game this year.Over the last 10 games when they are away from home, opposing starting PFs have attempted 2.8 foul shots per game (7th-lowest in the NBA) against the Philadelphia 76ers, struggling to get to the free-throw line.
