The Brooklyn Nets have been the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added chances for scoring and assists).

The Nets rank as the 3rd-lowest scoring offense in the NBA over the last 25 games away from their home court.
The 5th-slowest tempo away offense in the league over the last 10 games has been the Brooklyn Nets.
The Knicks have played at the least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA this year, which ought to reduce plays for the Nets.
The matchup against New York may be a challenging one for getting to the foul line; opposing starting SGs have attempted just 1.9 free throws per game over the last 10 games when the Knicks are on their home court (3rd-least in the league).
Mikal Bridges will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium usually decreases player performance for all stats.
