Ben Sheppard has tallied 3.2 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.8 higher than he's tallied over the course of the season.The Miami Heat have played at the 4th-most sluggish pace in the league this year, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Pacers.The Pacers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Miami may be a challenging one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposition's starting SGs have attempted a mere 1.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games when the Heat are the visiting squad (4th-least in the NBA).
