The Washington Wizards have played at the speediest tempo in the league this year.The New York Knicks have played at the 8th-fastest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games away from their home city, which should boost possessions for the Wizards.While playing away from home, the Knicks have allowed the 3rd-least offensive boards per game (9.3) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Bilal Coulibaly figures to see an increase in effectiveness across the board due to enjoying the home court advantage in this game.
