Ben Sheppard has tallied 2.4 personal fouls per game this year, ranking him as one of the most foul-whistled players in the NBA (82nd percentile).The Boston Celtics have played at the 4th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA at home this year, which should reduce opportunities for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).Ben Sheppard will not possess the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home court generally lowers player production across the board.
