The least up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the league this year has been the Philadelphia 76ers.The 76ers will likely experience a decrease in plays in this contest from competing against the least up-tempo pace home offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Charlotte Hornets).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and bring about additional opportunities for scoring and assists, but the 76ers rank 9thworst in in the NBA while playing on the road with a mere 9.2 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.KJ Martin will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city tends to reduce stat production in all facets of the game.
