In terms of scoring, the Trail Blazers's subpar 104.3 points per game without the home court advantage places fewest in the NBA this year.This year, the other team's starting PGs have averaged 3.2 three attempts per game (15th-lowest in the league) against the Pacers, making this a difficult matchup.While at home, the Indiana Pacers have allowed the 8th-most offensive boards per game (11.7) in the NBA to opposing clubs this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted 2.5 foul shots per game (11th-fewest in the league) vs. the Indiana Pacers, facing an uphill battle to get to the free-throw line.Malcolm Brogdon stands to suffer a drop-off in production across the board as a result of playing on the visting team in this contest.
