The Miami Heat have played at the 2nd-most lethargic tempo in the NBA when playing on the road this year.Offensive rebounds retain possession and bring about added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Heat grade out 3rdworst in in the league on the road with just 9.1 offensive boards per game over the last 10 games.The Clippers have given up the 8th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.2) in the league to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games when they are the visiting team, opposing starting SFs have attempted 0.5 foul shots per game (12th-fewest in the league) against the Clippers, struggling to get to the charity stripe.Jaime Jaquez Jr. will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium generally decreases player production in all facets of the game.
