Malcolm Brogdon has accumulated 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.0 higher than he's accumulated over the course of the year.The matchup vs. Miami is a challenging one; when the Heat are the visiting squad, they have allowed the 15th-least points per game in the NBA to the opposing team's starting PGs this year (16.2).The Boston Celtics have played at the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games.The Heat have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games, which should decrease opportunities for the Celtics.The Boston Celtics check in as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).
