The Pacers are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities today from competing against the most lethargic pace-of-play home team in the league this year (the Heat).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and create further chances for scoring and assists, but the Indiana Pacers grade out 2ndworst in in the NBA with just 9.0 offensive boards per game this year.Ben Sheppard will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city usually decreases player production for all stats.
