Malik Monk has averaged 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.8 more than he's averaged over the course of the year.This matchup is a positive one for 3-pointers; when the Memphis Grizzlies are on their home court, opposing teams have averaged the most shots from downtown per game in the NBA against them this year (15.0).The Kings rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, opposing squads have attempted 23.9 free throws per game (9th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Grizzlies, finding it easy to draw fouls.Malik Monk should suffer a reduction in effectiveness in all facets of the game considering playing on the visting team in this game.
