Luke Kornet has successfully made 67.3% of his shots from the field over the last 15 games, 8.4% more than he's made over the course of the year.This year, the other team's starting PFs have averaged 40.8% on threes (4th-best in the NBA) against the Philadelphia 76ers, designating this as a favorable matchup.The Celtics have been the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games when they are playing at home, the other team's starting PFs have attempted 5.5 foul shots per game (9th-highest in the league) vs. the 76ers, making it fairly effortless to get to the charity stripe.Luke Kornet should get a boost in production for all stats as a result of enjoying the home court advantage in this matchup.
