Buddy Hield has been called for 0.1 technical fouls per game this year, quite a bit more than his 0.0 technicals per game last year.Offensive rebounds retain possession and produce further chances for scoring and assists, but the Pacers grade out 6thworst in in the NBA while on their home court with a mere 9.9 offensive boards per game this year.This year when they have the home court advantage, opposing squads have secured 13.0 offensive boards per game (2nd-highest in the NBA) vs. the Wizards (preserving possessions that can generate bonus chances for offense).Buddy Hield will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage generally decreases player performance in all facets of the game.
