Buddy Hield has been called for 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games on the road, 0.1 higher than he's been called for over the course of the year on the road.The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 9th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, their opposition has secured 12.9 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-most in the league) against the Minnesota Timberwolves (saving possessions that can result in bonus opportunities for offense).Buddy Hield will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium tends to worsen player production across the board.
