Justin Champagnie has averaged 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.8 more than he's averaged over the course of the year.In terms of 3-pointers, the Wizards's unimpressive 33.4% rate of converted threes settles in as the 2nd-fewest in the NBA this year.The matchup vs. New York is a tough one for 3-point shots; when the New York Knicks are on their home court, the opposition's starting SFs have totaled the 6th-least 3-pointers per game in the league this year (1.3).The Washington Wizards are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this game from competing against the 2nd-slowest pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the New York Knicks).Justin Champagnie will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to decrease player performance across the board.
