Jakob Poeltl has tallied 4.0 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.1 more than he's tallied in all games this season.The Toronto Raptors will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 7th-most lethargic pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games (the Golden State Warriors).When playing at home, the Warriors have given up the 2nd-most offensive boards per game (11.7) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).Jakob Poeltl will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to decrease player performance in all stat categories.
