Out of all players in the NBA, Myles Turner places in the 95th percentile for personal fouls, logging a whopping 3.2 fouls per game this year.The Charlotte Hornets have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games, which should lead to fewer plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Hornets have given up the most offensive boards per game (13.8) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).As a team, the Pacers have been quite unsuccesful at getting to the charity stripe of late: 9th-worst in the league over the last 5 games, totaling just 20.8 free throw attempts per game.The matchup against Nick Richards is a tough one for getting to the charity stripe; when Richards is playing on the road and facing other starting Cs this year, they have attempted a mere 2.1 free throws per game (7th percentile).
