Derrick White has averaged 5.4 assists per game over the last 5 games while playing away from home, 0.8 more than he's averaged in all games this season on the road.Offensive rebounds retain possession and produce added chances for scoring and assists, and the Celtics grade out 7thbest in in the league when playing on the road with 11.8 offensive boards per game over the last 8 games.At home, the New York Knicks have given up the 3rd-least offensive rebounds per game (8.9) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Derrick White will likely get a boost in effectiveness for all stats due to having the home court advantage in this matchup.
