Kyle Lowry has sunk 55.6% of his 3-point shots over the last 5 games, 12.0% more than he's converted over the course of the season.As it relates to shots from behind the three-point arc, the Miami Heat's impressive 39.9% rate of drained threes comes in as the best in the NBA this year.The matchup against Philadelphia is a strong one for 3-point shots; when the 76ers are the visiting squad, the other team's starting PGs have shot for the 24th-highest 3-point percentage in the league this year (39.9%).The 76ers have played at the 8th-speediest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games, which should lead to more opportunities for the Miami Heat.When playing on the road, the Philadelphia 76ers have given up the 3rd-least offensive rebounds per game (7.8) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
