Cason Wallace has averaged 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.8 higher than he's averaged in all games this season.The Thunder will likely experience a decrease in opportunities today from competing against the 4th-least up-tempo pace-of-play home team in the NBA this year (the Nuggets).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and lead to further chances for scoring and assists, but the Oklahoma City Thunder rank 2ndworst in in the NBA with a mere 8.5 offensive boards per game this year.The Denver Nuggets have allowed the 5th-most offensive boards per game (13.2) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists).Cason Wallace will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city generally reduces player production in all facets of the game.
