Myles Turner has been called for 3.0 personal fouls per game since the start of last season, putting him among the most-whistled players in the league (96th percentile).The Pacers will likely see a decline in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the 7th-slowest pace team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Mavericks).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and spark additional chances for scoring and assists, but the Indiana Pacers rank 7thworst in in the league as the away team with only 9.3 offensive boards per game this year.Myles Turner will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home court generally reduces stat production in all stat categories.
