Kevin Love has attempted a mere 4.6 three-point shots per game this season, a sizeable decrease from his 6.4 rate last season.The matchup against the Celtics is a tough one for scoring; the opposition's starting PFs have posted the 8th-lowest field goal rate in the league this year (45.7%).The Miami Heat have played at the slowest pace in the league this year.The Celtics have played at the least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games, which should reduce plays for the Heat.The Miami Heat have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games while playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).
