Derrick Jones Jr. has tallied 1.4 offensive rebounds per game this year at home, placing him among the hottest players in the NBA in this category in recent days: 82nd percentile.The Mavericks have played at the 2nd-quickest tempo in the NBA over the last 10 games.The Dallas Mavericks will likely see an increase in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 8th-most up-tempo tempo away offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Knicks).When playing away from home, the Knicks have allowed the 2nd-least offensive boards per game (9.5) in the league to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Derrick Jones Jr. should get a boost in performance in all stat categories considering holding the home court advantage in this matchup.
