The New York Knicks have played at the 9th-quickest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games without the home court advantage, which should increase plays for the Memphis Grizzlies.Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and bring about additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Memphis Grizzlies grade out 3rdbest in in the league with 13.0 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.This year when they are playing at home, their opposition has grabbed 9.5 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-lowest in the NBA) against the Knicks (diminishing possessions that could otherwise create additional opportunities for offense).Jake LaRavia will receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing at home generally boosts stat production for all stats.
