John Konchar has been called for 2.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.2 higher than he's been called for overall this season.The Memphis Grizzlies are expected to suffer a reduction in plays today from squaring off against the most sluggish pace home team in the league this year (the New York Knicks).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to further chances for scoring and assists, but the Memphis Grizzlies grade out 9thworst in in the league with only 10.2 offensive rebounds per game this year.While at home, the New York Knicks have given up the 10th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.2) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).John Konchar will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road tends to worsen player performance across the board.
