Out of all players in the NBA, Kyrie Irving registers in the 89th percentile for personal fouls, putting up an enormous 2.8 fouls per game when playing at home this year.Offensive rebounds continue possession and generate added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Mavericks grade out 1stworst in in the league on their home court with a mere 7.6 offensive boards per game this year.This year when they are the visiting squad, opposing squads have snagged 11.2 offensive boards per game (8th-highest in the league) vs. the San Antonio Spurs (preserving possessions that can lead to bonus chances for offense).Kyrie Irving will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home court generally reduces stat production in all facets of the game.
