The Nets have played at the 7th-most sluggish pace in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the Kings.The Sacramento Kings rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).On their home court, the Nets have given up the 2nd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.3) in the league to their opposition over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create additional chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a positive one for getting to the free throw line; opposing squads have attempted a colossal 26.4 foul shots per game over the last 10 games (4th-most in the league).Malik Monk will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road generally reduces player performance across the board.
