Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has averaged 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.1 more than he's averaged overall this year.The Heat have played at the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games in their home stadium, which should lead to fewer plays for the Nuggets.The Denver Nuggets have been the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Max Strus is a difficult one for drawing fouls; when Strus is at home and squaring off against fellow starting SGs this year, they have attempted a lowly 2.0 foul shots per game (11th percentile).Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling generally worsens player performance in all stat categories.
