The Miami Heat have played at the most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games when playing on the road.The Heat have been the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).The Jazz have given up the 5th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.8) in the NBA to the other team over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, opposing squads have attempted 25.5 free throws per game (5th-most in the league) vs. the Utah Jazz, succeeding in their efforts to draw fouls.Kevin Love will not hold the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage tends to worsen player production in all facets of the game.
