Key Factors

Favors Over

This year when they have the home court advantage, the other team's starting PGs have averaged 45.5% on shot attempts from the field (9th-best in the league) against the Rockets, creating a good matchup.
Offensive rebounds maintain possession and produce more opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Hornets grade out 3rd-best in in the league with 14.2 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.
The matchup against Houston is a strong one for getting to the foul line; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a whopping 5.2 foul shots per game this year when the Rockets are the visiting team (5th-most in the NBA).

Favors Under

In terms of offense, the Hornets's lackluster 113.5 points per game at home rates 5th-worst in the league this year.
The Hornets have played at the 5th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league while playing at home this year.
The Hornets are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this game from being pitted against the most sluggish pace road offense in the league over the last 20 games (the Houston Rockets).
