The matchup against Milwaukee is a favorable one; when the Bucks are the visiting squad, they have allowed the 30th-most points per game in the NBA to opposing starting SFs this year (17.4).The Bucks have played at the 6th-fastest pace in the NBA over the last 25 games away from their home city, which should increase opportunities for the Nets.The Brooklyn Nets check in as the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games on their home court (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).The Bucks have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (7.7) in the league to the other team over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).The matchup against the Bucks may be a strong one for getting to the free throw line; the opposition's starting SFs have attempted a monstrous 5.5 free throws per game over the last 5 games (26th-most in the league).
