The slowest pace-of-play away team in the league this year has been the Miami Heat.The Miami Heat will likely suffer a reduction in opportunities today from facing the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Philadelphia 76ers).The Heat check in as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Haywood Highsmith will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing on the road generally reduces stat production in all facets of the game.
