This year, the opposition's starting SGs have scored 19.0 points per game (highest in the NBA) vs. the Pacers, making this a positive matchup for offensive output.The Washington Wizards have played at the most up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 10 games while playing away from home.The Wizards are expected to see an increase in possessions in this game from competing against the 6th-most up-tempo pace team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Pacers).The Wizards rank as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games away from their home court (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).The matchup against Indiana is a favorable one for drawing fouls; the opposing team's starting SGs have attempted a monstrous 5.3 free throws per game this year when the Indiana Pacers are at home (most in the league).
