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 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).Nick Richards will not hold the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home court generally worsens stat production in all facets of the game.
