Key Factors

Favors Over

Nick Richards has converted 63.1% of his field goal attempts over the last 5 games, 13.1% more than he's put through the hoop in all games this year.
The Suns have been the most efficient 3-point shooting team in the NBA while playing away from home this year.
The matchup against Bismack Biyombo is a favorable one for shot attempts from downtown; when Biyombo is on his home court and guarding opposing starting Cs since the start of last season, they have attempted a massive 5.0 shots from behind the three-point arc per game (100th percentile).
The San Antonio Spurs have played at the 7th-quickest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games, which should boost plays for the Phoenix Suns.
Among all players in the league, Nick Richards slots into the 85th percentile for getting to the foul line, compiling a colossal 3.6 free throws per game this year.

Favors Under

Nick Richards has attempted 0.1 three-point shots per game this year, ranking in the 6th percentile among all players in the NBA.
Out of all players in the NBA, Nick Richards places in the 87th percentile for personal fouls, registering a monstrous 2.6 fouls per game away from his home court this year.
The Phoenix Suns have played at the 4th-slowest tempo in the league when playing on the road this year.
The Phoenix Suns rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games as the away team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
Nick Richards will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city usually lowers stat production for all stats.
