Grant Williams has tallied 0.2 technical fouls per game this season, a sizeable increase from his 0.1 technicals per game last season.The matchup vs. New Orleans is a difficult one for 3-point shots; when the Pelicans are the visiting squad, the opposition's starting PFs have averaged the 15th-least shots from downtown per game in the league this year (0.8).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and create extra opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Mavericks rank 5thworst in in the NBA without the home court advantage with a mere 9.3 offensive rebounds per game this year.Without the home court advantage, the New Orleans Pelicans have allowed the most offensive rebounds per game (16.6) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Grant Williams will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling generally lowers player production for all stats.
