The 5th-most lethargic pace team in the league this year has been the Miami Heat.The Heat are expected to see a decline in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 5th-slowest pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Charlotte Hornets).The Miami Heat rank as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games as the away team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Haywood Highsmith ought to see a decline in performance in all stat categories as a result of playing on the visting team in this contest.
