Kevin Porter Jr. has been called for 2.6 personal fouls per game this year, making him one of the most foul-prone players in the NBA (87th percentile).The matchup vs. the Celtics is a difficult one for scoring; the other team's starting PGs have put up the 13th-lowest FG% in the NBA this year (40.5%).The Celtics have played at the 5th-slowest pace in the NBA over the last 20 games away from their home city, which should reduce opportunities for the Rockets.The Houston Rockets have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league while playing at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).On the road, the Celtics have allowed the 9th-most offensive rebounds per game (10.8) in the league to the other team over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).
