Bruce Brown has tallied 2.4 personal fouls per game when playing away from home this year, placing him in the 78th percentile -- among the NBA's most-whistled.The Denver Nuggets have played at the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games away from their home court.The Suns have played at the 9th-slowest pace-of-play in the league this year, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Nuggets.On their home court, the Suns have given up the 4th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.8) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide additional chances for scoring and assists).Bruce Brown will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage tends to lowers player production in all facets of the game.
