Nick Richards has tallied 2.5 personal fouls per game this year, placing him among the most foul-prone players in the NBA (86th percentile).The matchup against Deandre Ayton is a difficult one for shots from the field; when Ayton is playing at home and facing other starting Cs this year, they have attempted a measly 8.8 shots made from the field per game (14th percentile).The 6th-slowest tempo away team in the league this year has been the Suns.The Suns are expected to see a decline in plays today from competing against the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games (the Portland Trail Blazers).The Suns rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
