The 5th-least up-tempo pace offense in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Celtics.The Celtics have been the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league when playing on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, opposing squads have grabbed 11.7 offensive boards per game (6th-highest in the league) against the Atlanta Hawks (maintaining possessions that can bring about extra chances for offense).Jayson Tatum has attempted a lowly 6.3 free throws per game this year, a sizeable decrease from his 8.1 rate last year.Over the last 5 games when they are the visiting team, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 2.2 foul shots per game (8th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Atlanta Hawks, making it tough to get to the foul line.
