Derrick Jones Jr. has tallied 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.2 more than he's tallied over the course of the season.This year when they are on the road, opposing starting PFs have shot 18.6% on threes (15th-worst in the NBA) against the New York Knicks, making this a challenging matchup.The Knicks have played at the most lethargic tempo in the NBA with the home court advantage this year, which should reduce possessions for the Dallas Mavericks.The Dallas Mavericks have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against New York is a hard one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting PFs have attempted a lowly 2.6 foul shots per game this year when the Knicks are at home (11th-least in the league).
