Brook Lopez has converted a measly 24.0% of his attempts from downtown this season, a sizeable decrease from his 34.4 rate last season.Out of all players in the NBA, Brook Lopez measures in the 79th percentile for personal fouls, compiling a massive 2.5 fouls per game this year.The matchup vs. Karl-Anthony Towns is a hard one for 3-point shots; when Towns is playing at home and defending opposing starting Cs since the start of last season, they have averaged a lowly 0.0 three-pointers per game (3rd percentile).The Milwaukee Bucks will likely see a decline in possessions in this contest from competing against the least up-tempo pace team in the league this year (the Knicks).The Bucks rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA 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).
