The 4th-most up-tempo tempo home team in the NBA this year has been the Hawks.The Memphis Grizzlies have played at the 7th-fastest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games away from their home stadium, which should lead to more possessions for the Atlanta Hawks.The Hawks check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).The Grizzlies have allowed the 9th-least offensive rebounds per game (10.5) in the league to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).Clint Capela will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing with the home court advantage tends to improve stat production in all stat categories.
