Brandon Ingram has averaged 2.6 personal fouls per game this year, ranking him as one of the most foul-prone players in the league (86th percentile).This year, the other team's starting SFs have averaged 26.0% on 3-pointers (15th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Memphis Grizzlies, labeling this as a difficult matchup.The Pelicans have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games as the road team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, the other team has snagged 11.5 offensive rebounds per game (4th-highest in the league) vs. the Memphis Grizzlies (continuing possessions that can bring about bonus chances for offense).Brandon Ingram will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to decreases stat production across the board.
