The most sluggish pace-of-play visiting team in the league this year has been the Heat.The Miami Heat will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Boston Celtics).Offensive rebounds continue possession and spark added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Miami Heat grade out 4thworst in in the league as the visting team with just 9.0 offensive rebounds per game this year.Kevin Love will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road tends to lower player performance in all stat categories.
