Bobby Portis has posted a measly 5.2 defensive boards per game this year, significantly lower than his 7.3 defensive boards per game last year.Out of all players in the league, Bobby Portis comes in at the 79th percentile for personal fouls, totaling a massive 2.4 fouls per game when playing away from home this year.The Bucks will likely see a decline in plays in this game from competing against the most lethargic pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Nuggets).The Milwaukee Bucks check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league as the away team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games when they are on the road, opposing teams have come down with 10.5 offensive boards per game (10th-highest in the NBA) against the Denver Nuggets (lengthening possessions that can result in more opportunities for offense).
