Josh Green has posted a lowly 0.5 offensive rebounds per game this year, significantly less than his 0.9 offensive rebounds per game last year.Offensive rebounds preserve possession and create extra opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Mavericks rank 5thworst in in the NBA without the home court advantage with a mere 9.3 offensive rebounds per game this year.Without the home court advantage, the New Orleans Pelicans have allowed the most offensive rebounds per game (16.6) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Josh Green will not hold the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city generally lowers player performance across the board.
