Buddy Hield has accumulated 2.8 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.8 higher than he's accumulated overall this year.The Indiana Pacers are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA this year (the Nuggets).The Indiana Pacers have been the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 20 games, their opposition has collected 11.1 offensive boards per game (8th-most in the NBA) against the Nuggets (continuing possessions that can result in added opportunities for offense).Buddy Hield will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling usually lowers player performance across the board.
