Giannis Antetokounmpo has tallied 2.9 personal fouls per game this year, placing him among the highest-fouling players in the league (95th percentile).The matchup vs. New Orleans is a hard one for shot attempts from downtown; when the New Orleans Pelicans are on their home court, opposing starting PFs have averaged the 5th-least three attempts per game in the league this year (3.4).The New Orleans Pelicans have played at the 9th-most lethargic pace in the NBA over the last 10 games, which should reduce possessions for the Bucks.The Milwaukee Bucks check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Giannis Antetokounmpo will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city generally worsens stat production in all facets of the game.
