This year when they are the visiting squad, the other team's starting SFs have averaged 33.3% on shots from the field (lowest in the NBA) against the Knicks, creating a difficult matchup.The Mavericks will likely suffer a reduction in plays in this contest from being pitted against the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the New York Knicks).Offensive rebounds save possession and produce extra chances for scoring and assists, but the Mavericks grade out 6thworst in in the league with just 10.0 offensive rebounds per game this year.Over the last 15 games, the opposition's starting SFs have attempted 2.5 foul shots per game (9th-fewest in the league) against the New York Knicks, struggling to get to the free-throw line.
