Marcus Smart has compiled a measly 1.1 steals per game this season, a significant dropoff from his 2.1 steals per game last season.The Washington Wizards are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this game from competing against the 2nd-slowest pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the New York Knicks).Marcus Smart will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium tends to lower player production in all facets of the game.
