Kyrie Irving has been on the court for a lowly 32.1 minutes per game this year, significantly less than his 36.9 minutes per game last year.Offensive rebounds continue possession and bring about further opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Dallas Mavericks grade out 9thworst in in the league playing at home with only 9.8 offensive rebounds per game this year.This year when they are the visiting squad, opposing squads have grabbed 12.8 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-highest in the NBA) against the Milwaukee Bucks (saving possessions that can produce extra chances for offense).Kyrie Irving will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city tends to lower player production in all stat categories.
