Giannis Antetokounmpo has posted a lowly 7.9 defensive boards per game this season, quite a bit less than his 9.6 defensive boards per game last season.Among all players in the NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo comes in at the 87th percentile for personal fouls, tallying a monstrous 2.8 fouls per game while on his home court this year.The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to suffer a reduction in plays in this contest from facing the least up-tempo pace home team in the league this year (the Chicago Bulls).Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to extra chances for scoring and assists, but the Milwaukee Bucks grade out 5thworst in in the league on the road with just 9.4 offensive rebounds per game this year.Without the home court advantage, the Bulls have allowed the 10th-most offensive boards per game (11.5) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).
