Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and create additional opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Indiana Pacers rank 8thworst in in the NBA with just 9.3 offensive boards per game this year.Away from home, the Hawks have allowed the 10th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.5) in the league to opposing clubs this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added chances for scoring and assists).Bruce Brown will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road tends to reduce player production in all stat categories.
