The Nuggets rank as the 10th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games when playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create added chances for scoring and assists).Since the start of last season when they are on their home court, their opposition has grabbed 9.7 offensive boards per game (5th-lowest in the league) vs. the Chicago Bulls (losing possessions that could otherwise generate further opportunities for offense).Since the start of last season when they are playing at home, their opposition has attempted 22.2 free throws per game (6th-fewest in the league) against the Chicago Bulls, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.Christian Braun will enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing at home usually boosts player production across the board.
