Myles Turner has committed 3.0 personal fouls per game since the start of last season, making him one of the most foul-prone players in the league (95th percentile).The number of 3-pointers attempted against Karl-Anthony Towns has been quite low (1.5 per game) when at home and facing other starting Cs since the start of last season (3rd percentile).The Indiana Pacers are expected to see a decline in possessions today from squaring off against the most lethargic pace-of-play team in the league since the start of last season (the New York Knicks).The Indiana Pacers check in as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA on the road since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Myles Turner will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to worsen player performance in all stat categories.
