The Nets are expected to see a spike in possessions in this game from being pitted against the 10th-fastest pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Phoenix Suns).
The Brooklyn Nets rank as the 6th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

Mikal Bridges has been called for 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games when playing on the road, 0.1 more than he's been called for over the course of the year on the road.
This year when they are playing at home, opposing starting SFs have averaged 12.3 points per game (12th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Suns, making this a tough matchup for offensive production.
The Nets have played at the 10th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league this year.
While on their home court, the Phoenix Suns have given up the 4th-most offensive rebounds per game (12.1) in the league to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).
In regard to getting to the charity stripe, the Brooklyn Nets's feeble 20.0 foul shot attempts per game while playing on the road places 3rd-worst in the NBA this year.
