As it relates to shots from downtown, the Charlotte Hornets's unimpressive 32.8% rate of successful threes with the home court advantage places 2nd-fewest in the league since the start of last season.Since the start of last season when they are away from home, the opposition's starting SFs have totaled 1.5 threes per game (13th-fewest in the league) against the Indiana Pacers, resulting in a hard matchup.The Pacers have given up the most offensive boards per game (12.1) in the league to opposing squads since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Gordon Hayward will not possess the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium tends to worsen stat production across the board.
