Key Factors

Favors Over

Malik Monk has tallied 3.9 assists per game this year, putting him in the 85th percentile -- among the league leaders by this standard over this stretch of games.
The Sacramento Kings have played at the 9th-speediest pace-of-play in the league this year.
The Spurs have played at the 4th-fastest pace in the NBA over the last 20 games, which should lead to increased plays for the Kings.

Favors Under

While playing at home, the Spurs have given up the 9th-least offensive rebounds per game (11.2) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
The Sacramento Kings have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
Malik Monk will not hold the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage usually lowers player production for all stats.
