Luguentz Dort has posted 1.2 offensive boards per game this year at home, placing him among the league leaders by this metric recently: 75th percentile.The Thunder have played at the 4th-fastest pace-of-play in the league over the last 15 games while at home.The New York Knicks have played at the 5th-speediest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should increase possessions for the Oklahoma City Thunder.While on the road, the Knicks have allowed the 5th-least offensive boards per game (9.7) in the league to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).Luguentz Dort should see a rise in effectiveness in all stat categories considering enjoying the home court advantage in this matchup.
