Over the last 20 games, the other team's starting SGs have tallied 12.6 points per game (15th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Rockets, creating a difficult matchup for offensive production.The Houston Rockets have played at the 4th-most lethargic tempo in the NBA without the home court advantage this year, which should lead to fewer plays for the Boston Celtics.While playing on the road, the Rockets have allowed the 6th-most offensive boards per game (11.9) in the NBA to the other team over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against Houston may be a hard one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposing team's starting SGs have attempted a lowly 1.0 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Rockets are the visiting squad (11th-least in the league).
