The matchup against Philadelphia is a tough one for threes; when the 76ers are on their home court, the opposing team's starting PFs have put up the 11th-lowest three percentage in the NBA this year (29.1%).The Brooklyn Nets have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 5 games away from home.The 76ers have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games at home, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Nets.The Brooklyn Nets rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Cameron Johnson will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium usually lowers player production in all stat categories.
