Josh Giddey has accumulated 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.1 higher than he's accumulated overall this season.The {OPP_TEAM} are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this game from sharing the court with the 10th-slowest pace-of-play away team in the league this year (the Phoenix Suns).The Thunder check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are on their home court, their opposition has nabbed 11.2 offensive rebounds per game (9th-most in the NBA) vs. the Suns (continuing possessions that can bring about extra chances for offense).Josh Giddey will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city tends to lower player production in all facets of the game.
