The matchup against Brooklyn is a tough one; when the Brooklyn Nets are the visiting team, they have given up the least points per game in the NBA to the other team's starting PFs this year (11.4).The Hawks are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this game from sharing the court with the 4th-least up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the league this year (the Brooklyn Nets).The Atlanta Hawks check in as the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they have the home court advantage, the opposing team's starting PFs have attempted 1.9 foul shots per game (fewest in the NBA) vs. the Brooklyn Nets, finding it difficult to get to the foul line.
