Out of all players in the NBA, Kristaps Porzingis registers in the 76th percentile for 3-point attempts on the road, averaging 4.5 per game this year.This year when they are the visiting squad, the opposing team's starting Cs have totaled 1.1 three-pointers per game (25th-highest in the league) vs. the Knicks, branding this as a good matchup.Offensive rebounds retain possession and produce added chances for scoring and assists, and the Celtics grade out 7thbest in in the league when playing on the road with 11.8 offensive boards per game over the last 8 games.At home, the New York Knicks have given up the 3rd-least offensive rebounds per game (8.9) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Kristaps Porzingis should get a boost in performance for all stats considering owning the home court advantage in this game.
